Do you know the characteristics and production process of soft plastic parts prototypes? I believe this is a question that most people have. Therefore, let Xiehe Prototype Processing Manufacturer give you a brief introduction.

Soft rubber is made of plastic through injection molding. It feels soft at room temperature. Many people call it "soft rubber", but it does not need to be vulcanized. Soft rubber prototypes are mainly processed through silicone replica molding. Its advantages are fast time, low cost, easy operation, no deformation, no shrinkage, easy mold removal, smooth mold surface, good simulation effect, and low chance of processing failure. wait. One silicone mold can be used to replicate 10-20 pieces of the same product. Generally, a set of silicone molds can only be used for about 10-20 times before being used. Reuse may cause deformation and large dimensional errors. Because of these excellent properties, the soft rubber prototype model has a wide range of applications, including but not limited to aviation, military technology, automobiles, machinery, construction, electronics and electrical, chemical and light industry, textiles, leather and papermaking, Medical and other fields. Soft rubber has various properties such as physiological inertness, weather resistance, temperature resistance, low surface tension, electrical insulation properties and low surface energy. In the general plastics industry, PE and PP are soft rubbers, and plastics with relatively low surface hardness are It is called soft glue, while plastics such as PS, ABS, hard PVC can be called hard glue.

The steps for making soft rubber prototype models can be divided into three steps. Before making the silicone mold, you must first make a prototype. The prototype can be made of the more common ABS material and can be made by CNC processing or 3D printing; after the original version is ready, Start making the silicone mold. After curing, cut the silicone mold open and take out the prototype. At this time, the silicone mold is ready. Inject the liquid material into the silicone mold and let it dry. The service life of the silicone mold is about 10-20 times.

The above content is the characteristics and production process of soft plastic parts prototypes. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
