CNC prototype service

In the style procedure of R&D items, after they have finished the layout illustrations, among things they wish to do most is to understand what the items they develop are like in truth, and also whether the appearance of the items follows their own layout ideas., Is the structure layout of the product practical, and so on? Prototype manufacturing is generated in action to this demand.

 

Classification of models:

Models can be separated right into guidebook and also numerical control prototypes according to the production methods:

Manual model: The main work is done by hand.

CNC model: The main workload is finished by CNC device tools, as well as relying on the equipment made use of, it can be split right into laser fast prototyping (RP, Quick Prototyping) models as well as machining center (CNC) prototypes

A: RP model: mostly created by laser rapid prototyping innovation.

 

B: CNC prototype: primarily generated by machining center.

 

RP models have their own advantages compared to CNC models: the advantages of RP prototypes are mostly in its rapidity, however it is generally created by piling technology, so RP models are generally reasonably rough, and also there are specific demands for the wall thickness of the product, for instance, If the wall density is too thin, it can not be produced.

 

The benefit of CNC prototype is that it can properly reflect the details shared in the illustrations, as well as the surface top quality of CNC model is high, specifically after the surface spraying and also silk printing are completed, it is much more glamorous than the item generated after the mold and mildew is opened. Consequently, CNC prototype production has significantly end up being the mainstream of model production.

 

According to the products made use of in manufacturing, models can be divided right into plastic and metal models:

( 1) Plastic models: The raw materials are plastic, generally for prototypes of plastic products, such as tv, screens, telephones, and so on.

 

( 2) Metal models: The raw materials are aluminum-magnesium alloys and also other metal products, mainly for high-end items, such as laptop, high-end solitary gamer, MP3 players, CD players, and so on.

 

The need of model production

( 1 )Layout inspection

 

The model is not just noticeable, but also touchable. It can straight show the developer’s imagination in the form of physical objects, preventing the downside of “attracting to look good however not to make it look good”. Therefore, prototype production is essential in the process of new product growth as well as product shape scrutiny.

 

( 2 )Examine the structural design

Due to the fact that the prototype is assemble, it can without effort mirror the reasonableness of the framework as well as the ease of installment. It is convenient to discover and solve troubles early.

 

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

Due to the fact that the cost of prototype cnc machining is generally really high, fairly huge mold and mildews are worth hundreds of thousands and even millions. If unreasonable framework or other problems are discovered in the process of opening the mold and mildew, the loss can be thought of. Prototype production can prevent this loss and reduce the danger of mold opening.

 

The surface area of prototype:1, electroplate.2, anodized.3, paint.4, gloss.5, lase.etc.

 

If you have a brand-new item that need to make a model to create assessment as well as examine the structural design.Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.As a model manufacturing facility for 20 years.We can make any kind of item.

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.

Which material is good for making transparent prototypes?

/in /by

Take ordinary two kinds of transparent materials, PC and acrylic as an example.From the point of polishing, the time spent on the PC prototype is relatively long, because its material properties are relatively hard, and some small places cannot be polished with force.Even where it is convenient for people to polish, the time it takes for the acrylic prototype also is long.

On the contrary, because the material performance of the acrylic material is relatively soft, then it is convenient for people to use the acrylic material as the transparent prototype.

About the transparent prototypes,The E-make team has more than 30 years of combined experience in prototype machining, vacuum casting service ,CNC manufacturing, and has a high-level technological group of 25 peoples. E-make company looking forward to having a chance to serve you! If there have anything we can do for you,please feel free to contact us!

What Surface Finish Can Be Used For Aluminum Parts?

1.Sand blasting
Sand blasting is a process that using the impact of the high-speed sand flow to clear and coarsen the metal’s surface,which can improve the  mechanical property of the parts’ surface and Fatigue resistance.
2.Polishing
Polishing is a process that reducing the roughness of the parts’ surface to make the parts with bright and smooth appearance by the mechanical, chemical or electrochemistry.
The main polishing process is mechanical polishing,chemical polishing and electrolytic polishing.
The aluminum parts can be close to the mirror finish of the stainless steel after mechanical polishing and electrolytic polishing.
3.Wire drawing
Wire drawing is a metal working process used to reduce the cross section of wire by pulling it through a series of dies.
4.Anodizing
Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts.Anodizing not only can solve the problems about the aluminum’s surface hardness and anti-abrasion,but also extend the service life of aluminum.
