CNC rapid prototype

In the design procedure of R&D items, after they have finished the design drawings, among things they intend to do most is to understand what the items they develop resemble in reality, and also whether the look of the items follows their own layout ideas., Is the structure design of the item sensible, and so on? Prototype production is generated in feedback to this need.

 

Category of models:

Prototypes can be divided into guidebook and also mathematical control models according to the production approaches:

Manual prototype: The primary work is done by hand.

CNC prototype: The major workload is completed by CNC equipment tools, and also relying on the devices used, it can be split into laser fast prototyping (RP, Fast Prototyping) prototypes as well as machining center (CNC) models

A: RP prototype: primarily generated by laser rapid prototyping technology.

B: CNC prototype: primarily created by machining facility.

 

RP models have their own advantages compared with CNC prototypes: the benefits of RP prototypes are mostly in its rapidity, but it is generally formed by piling innovation, so RP prototypes are typically reasonably harsh, and there are specific requirements for the wall surface thickness of the item, for instance, If the wall density is too thin, it can not be produced.

 

The advantage of CNC prototype is that it can accurately show the info expressed in the drawings, and also the surface high quality of CNC prototype is high, especially after the surface area splashing and silk printing are finished, it is even more extravagant than the item produced after the mold is opened. For that reason, CNC prototype manufacturing has significantly come to be the mainstream of prototype manufacturing.

 

According to the materials utilized in manufacturing, models can be divided right into plastic as well as metal models:

( 1) Plastic models: The raw products are plastic, primarily for models of plastic products, such as tvs, displays, telephones, and so on.

 

( 2) Metal prototypes: The raw materials are aluminum-magnesium alloys as well as other metal products, primarily for high-end products, such as laptop, high-end solitary games, MP3 players, CD players, and more.

 

The necessity of prototype manufacturing

( 1 )Style evaluation

 

The model is not just visible, but additionally touchable. It can straight show the developer’s creativity in the form of physical objects, staying clear of the negative aspect of “drawing to look excellent but not to make it look excellent”. For that reason, prototype production is important in the process of new product development as well as product form examination.

 

( 2 )Examine the structural design

Since the model is assemble, it can intuitively show the reasonableness of the framework and the simplicity of installation. It is convenient to discover and also resolve problems early.

 

( 3 )Avoid the risk of straight make mold and mildews

Because the expense of mold manufacturing is typically really high, relatively big mold and mildews are worth thousands of thousands and even millions. If unreasonable framework or various other problems are located in the process of opening the mold and mildew, the loss can be envisioned. Model production can avoid this loss and reduce the danger of mold opening.

 

The surface area of prototype:1, electroplate.2, plated.3, painting.4, polish.5, lase.etc.

Rapid prototyping

In the design procedure of R&D items, after they have finished the style drawings, among things they wish to do most is to recognize what the products they create are like actually, and whether the appearance of the products follows their very own design ideas., Is the structure style of the item reasonable, and so on? Prototype production is created in feedback to this need.

Category of models:

Models can be split right into guidebook and mathematical control prototypes according to the manufacturing approaches:

Hands-on model: The major work is done by hand.

CNC model: The primary work is finished by CNC maker tools, and also depending upon the equipment utilized, it can be split right into laser fast prototyping (RP, Quick Prototyping) prototypes and also machining center (CNC) models

A: RP model: generally produced by laser quick prototyping technology.

B: CNC prototype: mainly produced by machining facility.

RP prototypes have their own advantages compared to CNC prototypes: the advantages of RP prototypes are mostly in its rapidity, but it is generally formed by stacking modern technology, so RP prototypes are generally fairly harsh, and there are particular demands for the wall surface density of the item, for instance, If the wall surface density is as well thin, it can not be created.

The benefit of CNC model is that it can accurately show the details expressed in the drawings, as well as the surface high quality of CNC prototype is high, particularly after the surface area spraying and silk printing are finished, it is a lot more glamorous than the product generated after the mold is opened. As a result, CNC model production has progressively become the mainstream of model manufacturing.

 

According to the products made use of in production, models can be split into plastic and metal models:

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

( 2) Steel models: The raw products are aluminum-magnesium alloys as well as other metal products, mostly for high-end products, such as laptop, high-end solitary gamers, MP3 players, CD players, and more.

 

The necessity of prototype production

( 1 )Design assessment

The model is not just noticeable, however likewise touchable. It can straight mirror the developer’s creative thinking in the form of physical objects, preventing the drawback of “drawing to look excellent however not to make it look good”. Therefore, prototype production is vital in the process of brand-new item growth and also item form analysis.

( 2 )Inspect the architectural style

Due to the fact that the model is assembleable, it can without effort show the reasonableness of the framework and the ease of setup. It is convenient to find and also resolve troubles early.

( 3 )Aviod the threat of straight make mold and mildews

Because the cost of mold and mildew manufacturing is normally very high, reasonably big molds deserve hundreds of thousands and even millions. If unreasonable framework or various other troubles are discovered in the process of opening the mold and mildew, the loss can be imagined. Model production can avoid this loss and also lower the risk of mold and mildew opening.

The surface of model:1, electroplate.2, anodized.3, painting.4, gloss.5, lase.etc.

CNC Machining Technology

The Process Of CNC Machining

/in , /by

The Process Of CNC Machining
1.Confirm the machining area and the specification of machined parts.
a)Firstly,determine what process has been used to process this workpiece before and what process will be used to process it, and then confirm the relationship between these processes.
b)The condition of the workpiece before.For example,it was a casting parts or a forgeable piece or a bar parts,and the shape,the dimension,the machining allowance of workpiece and so on.
c)What area and shape need to be machined in next process.
2.Confirm the clamping way of the workpiece and design the fixture.
Select and design the fixture according to machining area,locating basis and clamping requirement of the workpiece.Mostly CNC machine will use three-jaw self-centering chuck to clapm the workpiece.
3.Confirm the machining method.
a)Determining the process principle,generally there are first rough then essence, near then far,inside then outside,the least procedure section, the shortest tooling route and special cases for special treatment.
b)In order to improve the production efficiency and ensure the finish machining quality of parts, the rough machining process shall be arranged first during cutting, and a large amount of machining allowance before finish machining shall be removed in a short time, and the allowance uniformity requirements of finish machining shall be met as far as possible.When the roughing process is finished, the semi-finishing and finishing should be arranged after the tool change.The purpose of arranging semi-finishing is when the uniformity of the remaining allowance after rough processing can not meet the finishing requirements,it can arrange semi-finishing as a transitional process,so that the finishing allowance is small and uniform.
c)Near than far is according to the distance from the machining position to the tool.Generally,to shorten the tooling distance and reduce the idle time,we will machining the position that more closed with the tool when are rough machining.Near than far is good for turning processing,whhich are the cutting conditions can be improved and keeping the rigidity of the blank or semi-finished parts.
d)For the parts need to be machined both of the inside surface and the outside surface ,we should machining the inside before outside when we are planning because it is difficult to control the size and shape of the inner surface, the tool rigidity is correspondingly poor, the durability of the tip edge is reduced by the heat of cutting,and chip removal is difficult during machining.
The above principles are not set in stone,some special cases may require a flexible approach.For example,some workpiece must be finished after rough processing to ensure its processing accuracy and 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 processing of vacuum casting prototype

 

We usually use CNC maching to processing prototype ,but the CNC tooling is hard , can only  process hard material.So if customer need to make rubber product ,we will not be able to use CNC machining .In that time ,we will use vacuum casting to process.vacuum casting is the best way to make rubber product in small quantity.So how vacuum casting to process a prototype?

1,programming.

2,make a mold.

3,Pour the liquid soft rubber material into the mold and take it out after cooling.

4,surface finish:

If those rubber product need to do color,there have two way to make color.one is painting after the product out of mold .Another is the color and the product out of mold together.This mean mix the color powder andrubber materials required by the customer into the mold, and take them out after cooling.

At this time, the product comes with its own color when it comes out of the mold. But the price will be more expensive than painting.

The surface of the vacuum casting product is smooth, and generally does not need manual processing. Which can save manual processing time.

If you have rubber products to make, please contact E-make. We are a rapid prototyping manufacturer in China, with over 10 years of experience in CNC,3D printing, vacuum casting and injection molding die-casting prototypes. We can quickly and cheaply produce high quality parts and prototype for you.

The difference between anodizing and painting in the surface finish of prototype processing

/in , , /by

Anodizing and painting are common surface finish processes when making prototype models. Although anodizing and painting both make the surface of the prototype color, there are still differences between them, which are mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
1.For different materials, painting can be applied to many materials for prototypes, such as metal, plastic and resin, and anodizing is a surface finish process that only aluminum alloy prototypes have.
2.The color persistence is different. Because the painting only painting a layer of paint on the surface of the prototype, it will fall off over time, and the anodizing is to soak the aluminum alloy prototype in the potion to form an oxide film on the surface.Because the alumina produced by anodizing is a stable substance, it is difficult to react with oxidation in the air, so the color of the surface is relatively stable and not easy to fall off.
3.The effect is different. The anodizing color has a metallic texture. If you use painting, you will not be able to adjust that effect anyway.
