Prototype CNC Machining For Industrial Manufacturing

Prototype CNC Machining For Industrial Manufacturing

In the layout process of R&D items, after they have finished the layout drawings, among the important things they intend to do most is to recognize what the products they make resemble in reality, as well as whether the appearance of the items follows their own layout ideas., Is the structure layout of the product reasonable, and so on? Protoype production is created in action to this demand.

 

Category of prototypes:

Models can be divided right into guidebook and also mathematical control prototypes according to the manufacturing methods:

Hand-operated model: The main work is done by hand.

CNC prototype: The main work is completed by CNC device tools, as well as depending upon the equipment used, it can be split right into laser quick prototyping (RP, Fast Prototyping) prototypes and also machining center (CNC) models

A: RP prototype: mostly created by laser fast prototyping modern technology.

 

B: CNC prototype: mostly produced by machining facility.

 

RP models have their very own advantages compared with CNC models: the benefits of RP prototypes are primarily in its rapidity, however it is mainly formed by stacking modern technology, so RP models are usually reasonably harsh, as well as there are particular requirements for the wall surface density of the item, for instance, If the wall density is too thin, it can not be created.

 

The benefit of CNC prototype is that it can accurately reflect the details shared in the illustrations, and the surface high quality of CNC prototype is high, especially after the surface spraying as well as silk printing are finished, it is much more extravagant than the product produced after the mold and mildew is opened. Therefore, CNC model manufacturing has increasingly come to be the mainstream of model manufacturing.

 

According to the materials utilized in production, prototypes can be split right into plastic as well as steel prototypes:

( 1) Plastic prototypes: The raw materials are plastic, mainly for models of plastic products, such as tvs, monitors, telephones, and more.

 

( 2) Metal prototypes: The raw materials are aluminum-magnesium alloys and also other steel products, mostly for premium products, such as laptop, high-end solitary gamers, MP3 players, CD players, and so on.

 

The necessity of model production

( 1 )Layout evaluation

 

The prototype is not only noticeable, yet additionally touchable. It can directly mirror the designer’s imagination in the form of physical objects, avoiding the disadvantage of “drawing to look excellent however not to make it look great”. Therefore, prototype manufacturing is vital in the process of new item advancement as well as item shape scrutiny.

 

( 2 )Check the structural style

Since the model is assemble, it can intuitively reflect the reasonableness of the structure and the convenience of setup. It is convenient to discover as well as fix troubles early.

 

( 3 )Avoid the threat of directly make mold and mildews

Due to the fact that the expense of mold production is typically very high, reasonably big mold and mildews deserve numerous thousands or perhaps millions. If unreasonable structure or other problems are located in the process of opening up the mold and mildew, the loss can be pictured. Model manufacturing can prevent this loss as well as reduce the danger of mold and mildew opening.

The surface finish of prototypes–laser engraving

Laser engraving, also called laser marking, which is a process that uses optical principles for surface finish.This process is usually used on the keys of mobile phones and electronic dictionaries.Laser engraving is to engrave the traces of chemical and physical changes of the surface layer material by the light energy of the laser beam, or burn off some materials by the light energy, and display the required etched graphics and text.

And According to different engraving methods, it can be divided into dot matrix engraving and vector cutting.Vector cutting is different from dot matrix engraving. Vector cutting is performed on the outline of the text. This mode is usually used to cut through on wood, paper, acrylic and other materials, and can also be used to mark on the surface of a variety of materials.

The way of making large-scale prototype

In the rapid prototyping industry, most of making the prototypes are small size of prototype,then the small size of the prototype will does not exceed the machine’s processing stroke, so the processing is relatively easy.But sometimes, the rapid prototyping manufacturer will also encounter some customer requirements to produce larger size prototype, especially the length of the prototype more than 1000mm, but that will more than CNC processing travel of a lot of rapid prototyping manufacturer, and the Processing will be more difficult.In view of this situation what processing method should be used more suitable for making large-scale prototype ?

When making large-size prototype, it is mainly because of its large volume. Therefore, if the machining stroke of CNC is relatively small, we need to disassemble the prototype for production, and then glue each part together.But in here we need to pay more attention to the choice of material, this way of producing the prototypes can not affect the strength and appearance of the prototype.3d printing is an expensive way to produce prototypes. The main reason is that the materials in this way are more expensive. Large-size prototype naturally require more materials.And some 3d printers may not be able to print such a large prototype, so the more reasonable processing way is CNC machining.

The E-make company is capable of CNC machining with accuracy up to ±0.01mm.And E-make company has been providing high quality rapid prototype manufacturing services for major enterprises.If you need any help,please feel free to contact me.

 

Custom Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping

In order to verify the appearance,structure and dimensions of new product,to see if the new product’s design is perfect or not,rapid prototyping is the first step.Because we can recognize the design problem when we test the prototype.In other words,rapid prototyping can help to reduce the risk of developing mould.
According to the material used for making prototype,there are plastic prototype,metal prototype and rubber prototype.
Plastic prototype is making out of plastic material,such as television,displayer,etc.
Rubber prototype is making out of rubber material,mainly be use for displaying the appearance of product,such as car,phone,toy,etc.
Metal prototype is making out of aluminum alloy,stainless steel,etc.It is mainly be used for making high-grade product,such as laptop.
According the effect of the prototypes,there are exterior prototype,structural prototype and functional prototype.
Exterior prototypes are solid and without functionality,which made for checking the appearance of the product.
Structure prototypes are hollow,which made for checking the the rationality of the product structure.It will be functional if install electronic components into the structure prototype.
Functional prototypes need to has same appearance,structure and functionality as the finished product.That is why machining functional prototypes is harder than the exterior prototype and structural prototype.
Both of SLA/SLA 3D printing and CNC machining process can be used for making rapid prototyping.Shenzhen E-Make Model Technology Co., Ltd are specialized in rapid prototyping,is welcome to contact us for custom your design!
