Do you know the specific advantages of prototype models compared to open molds? Next, the editor of Xiehe Processing Factory will briefly analyze it for everyone.

In the past, when people needed to develop new products, they would directly open the mold, regardless of whether the design of the drawings was reasonable. Due to the lack of testing before opening the mold, by the time it was discovered that the product was defective, irreparable losses had been caused. . The prototype model is different. It is one or several functional prototypes that are first made based on the product appearance drawings or structural drawings without opening a mold, and are used to check the rationality of the appearance or structure. Compared with molds, it has the following characteristics:

1. The cost is relatively small. Since prototypes are mainly used for testing, their quantity is usually not too large. Moreover, as technologies such as CNC processing and 3D printing continue to mature, the cost of making prototypes is similar to before. There has been a significant decrease compared to already. The cost of making molds is generally tens of thousands or more, and molds for large medical devices cost millions. In addition, some structural prototypes can be directly used as products and sold directly on the market. The aesthetics of the prototypes are no less than those made by molding, and the cost is less than one-tenth of that of molding.

2. It takes less time. Generally speaking, the time spent on mold opening is very long, ranging from half a month to a month or even longer. The cycle of making a prototype model is very short, usually only a few days. If it is done by 3D printing, it is faster, usually only one day.

3. Prototype models can be used as samples to be displayed at exhibitions before the product is developed, to promote new products in advance, and even to obtain orders directly at exhibitions, while mold opening does not have such advantages. Prototype models are better than mold making in that they cost less and take less time.

The above content is the advantage of prototype model compared with mold opening. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about the prototype model, or if you want to customize the prototype model, please call Xiehe Processing Factory for consultation.
