What Is The Difference Between Anodizing And Painting

1.Material.
Painting can be used in plastic made parts and metal made parts,but anodizing only can be used in aluminum alloy made parts.

2.The persistance of color.
Painting is making the parts coated with a layer paint,which might will come off with the time goes on.Anodizing is making the color permeate into the inner of prototype and there will have oxidation film be formed on the surface of the prototype,which are not easy to fade.

3.The effective of surface are different.
The color by anodizing has metal texture and looks with high quality.

What are the classifications of toy prototypes?

/in , , /by

According to the materials used, the processing of toy prototypes can be divided into: plastic silicone and metal materials.

And According to the product effect to be achieved by level, it can be divided into: appearance, structure and main function prototype.

  1. Appearance prototype: Mainly inspect the appearance of the design, which requires high requirements for appearance surface finish and accurate color, so the internal treatment requirements are not high.
  2. Structure Prototype: It mainly detects the rationality of the structure of the product. The requirements for the size of the product are relatively high, and the requirements for the appearance are relatively low.
  3. Functional prototype: It is required to achieve the same appearance, structure and function as the real product, which can be understood as a finished product that is not on the market, so it is a type of prototype with high requirements and difficulty.

The Advanatge And Disadvantage Of SLS 3D Printing

Advantage

1.Most materials can be used for SLS 3D printing,such as ceramic powder,nylon powder,etc.

2.The precision of parts by SLS printing is about ±0.2mm.

3.SLS printing do not require the structural support when working.

4.The material for SLS printing have high utilization,and the price is cheaper than the material for SLA printing.

 

Disadvantage

1.The surface of parts by SLS printing are rough.If you need the parts with smooth surface,SLA printing will be better.

2.There will have bad smell when printing.

3.The machining time is longer than SLA much because SLS printing need the preheating time and the cooling time.

How to process polyethylene prototype

/in , , /by

The polyethylene prototype is mainly processed by the method of silicone vacuum casting, and the main advantages are short processing time and low cost;In addition to making polyethylene prototypes, we can also make other materials, such as ABS, PP, PC, PMMA, POM, silicone, etc.Generally, a set of silicone molds can only be used for about 10 times and cannot be used. Reuse can cause deformation and large size errors.

First of all, we need to make an original before making the silicone mold, which can be made by cnc machining or 3D printing.

Then make the silicone mold: After the original is ready, start making the silicone mold. After the silicone mold is dried for eight hours, cut the silicone mold open, and then we can take out the prototype. At this time, the silicone mold is ready.

Final injection: Inject the liquid material into the silicone mold, and it will be completed after drying. The service life of the silicone mold is about 10 times.

The E-make team has more than 30 years of combined experience in prototype machining, CNC manufacturing, vacuum casting service.And has a high-level technological group of 25 peoples.The processing quality of the rapid manufacturing is stable, the processing precision is high, and the appearance is exquisite.

The difference between PC prototype and acrylic prototype

The difference between PC prototype and acrylic prototype

Many customers are very puzzled when making transparent prototype. They don’t know what transparent material to choose. They can’t distinguish which PC and Acrylic are better and which one is more suitable for their needs. In order for customers to better understand the advantages and disadvantages between them, the key depends on what kind of performance the customer needs to make. The following describes these two similar materials.

PC resistance to neutral oil, strong acid resistance, not durable, not alkali resistance, to add coating UV.But high temperature resistance, lighting effect is good, PC with high transparency, light, impact resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, difficult to burn, anti-aging and other characteristics, is a high-tech, comprehensive performance is extremely excellent, energy-saving environmental protection plastic plate.PC can generally withstand high temperature, the temperature is about 120-150 degrees.

What are the advantages of acrylic? The most important thing is the high transparency. After polishing, the transparency can achieve the effect of full transparency. This effect is called plexiglass in the industry. This is unmatched by PC materials. Although PC is also transparent, the effect is not as good as acrylic.

 

What are the disadvantages of acrylic? Everyone knows that glass is very brittle. Acrylic is a kind of organic glass, so its physical characteristics are also very brittle. The shortcoming of poor toughness causes acrylic to be broken by accident. In the process of making the prototype, this is a key need to avoid, so it can only be replaced with other materials, such as PC.

From the above information, we can see that the advantages and disadvantages of PC and acrylic are: the PC material is generally transparent, the toughness is good, and it can withstand high temperatures. Acrylic has good transparency, poor toughness, and high temperature resistance.

What is sheet metal prototype processing?

/in , /by

Sheet metal processing refers to the processing technology of sheet metal, and sheet metal parts are thin metal parts.The sheet metal process is an induction cold-working hand plate manufacturing process for metal sheets (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body), etc.It is plastically deformed by craftsmanship or die stamping to form the desired shape and size, and can be further welded or a small amount of mechanical processing to form more complex parts, such as chimneys, iron stoves, and car shells commonly used in life.The obvious feature is the same thickness of the same part.The three most important processes of sheet metal processing are shearing, punching/cutting, and folding.
