Do you know the difference between soft mold and hard mold in silicone prototypes? Next, Xiehe Prototype Processing Manufacturer will give you a brief introduction.

The so-called soft mold is a soft mold. It is named because the soft materials used (such as silicone rubber, epoxy resin, etc.) are different from traditional steel materials. These soft molds can be used as injection molds for trial production and small batch production, intermediate transition molds for making hard molds, and low melting point alloy casting molds. Silicone prototype molds have good elasticity, copyability and certain strength. When casting complex molds, they can greatly simplify the structural design of the mold and facilitate demolding.

The silicone prototype process is to use the rapid prototyping configuration pouring system as the core mold, which is suspended in the mold box, injecting fluid silicone, and after vacuum degassing and solidification, it is separated along the preset parting surface, and the mold manufacturing is completed. Silicone molds can be used to make plastic parts and low melting point alloy parts, with a lifespan of only dozens to hundreds of times.

Silicone prototype hard mold is a hard mold, which is our commonly used mold. Except for the big difference in the life of the mold, there is generally no difference between the counterpart boards. Due to its low manufacturing cost and short production cycle, it can be used as a single-piece and small-batch prototype for product function testing and market trial operation in the new product development process. It is especially suitable for modern times with small batches, many varieties, and fast modifications. Manufacturing mode.

The above content is the difference between soft mold and hard mold in silicone prototypes. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about the car light prototype, please call Xiehe Processing Factory, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
