CNC machining  prototype

In the design process of R&D products, after they have finished the design illustrations, among things they want to do most is to recognize what the products they make resemble in reality, and also whether the appearance of the products follows their own layout ideas., Is the framework style of the product affordable, etc? Prototype production is produced in feedback to this need.

Category of prototypes:

Prototypes can be split into handbook as well as numerical control models according to the manufacturing methods:

Hand-operated model: The primary workload is done by hand.

CNC machining prototype: The primary work is completed by CNC equipment tools, and also depending upon the devices utilized, it can be divided into laser fast prototyping (RP, Rapid Prototyping) models as well as machining center (CNC) prototypes

A: RP model: mostly produced by laser rapid prototyping modern technology.

B: CNC model: mostly generated by machining facility.

 

RP models have their own benefits compared with CNC models: the benefits of RP models are primarily in its rapidity, however it is generally formed by piling modern technology, so RP models are typically fairly harsh, and also there are specific demands for the wall surface density of the item, for instance, If the wall surface density is too thin, it can not be generated.

 

The benefit of CNC machining prototype is that it can properly mirror the details revealed in the drawings, and the surface area top quality of CNC model is high, especially after the surface spraying as well as silk printing are completed, it is much more glamorous than the product produced after the mold and mildew is opened. For that reason, CNC model production has increasingly end up being the mainstream of model production.

 

According to the materials made use of in production, prototypes can be split right into plastic as well as metal prototypes:

( 1) Plastic cnc machining prototypes: The raw products are plastic, mostly for models of plastic items, such as televisions, monitors, telephones, and so on.

( 2) Metal cnc machining prototypes: The raw products are aluminum-magnesium alloys and also other metal products, mainly for high-end products, such as laptop, high-end single gamers, MP3 players, CD players, and more.

 

The need of prototype production

( 1 )Design examination

The prototype is not just visible, however also touchable. It can directly mirror the developer’s creativity in the form of physical things, avoiding the disadvantage of “attracting to look good however not to make it look great”. As a result, prototype production is crucial in the process of brand-new product development and also product form analysis.

( 2 )Inspect the architectural design

Because the prototype is assembleable, it can with ease mirror the reasonableness of the structure and the ease of setup. It is convenient to discover as well as resolve issues early.

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

Due to the fact that the expense of mold manufacturing is normally extremely high, reasonably large mold and mildews are worth hundreds of thousands and even millions. If unreasonable framework or various other problems are located in the process of opening up the mold and mildew, the loss can be pictured. Model production can prevent this loss and minimize the risk of mold and mildew opening.

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

Prototype model can avoid the risk of making molds

/in /by

Prototype models can avoid the risk of producing molds, reduce the time for products to come out, and have a great help in seizing the market. You can also use the prototype products for publicity planning before the development and design of the model, and even make early market sales. And the production site management work. Prototype models are divided into three categories: appearance prototypes, structural prototypes, and vacuum casting.
Appearance prototypes are mainly used to test product appearance specifications, color matching, material interaction, cost evaluation, and market research; Structural prototypes are key to interactions between the internal installation structure of the product, material compressive strength analysis, characteristic inspection, and Cost evaluation, new product investment,etc.,thereby reducing the risk of immediate production of molds.
Vacuum casting is mainly used to test various characteristics of new products in small batches, further improve the feasibility analysis of mass production of new products, and that can also be used to attract new products.

Rapid prototyping manufacturing service

/in , , /by

The inspection design prototype is not only visible,but also touchable. Therefore,the prototype can vividly reflect the artistic creativity of the interior designer in a physical way,preventing “drawing beautifully but making it unsightly”Shortcomings.So,prototype manufacturing is indispensable in the development of new products and the deliberation of product appearance.

Check the structural design.Since the prototype is installable,the prototype can visually reflect the effectiveness of the product structure and the level of difficulty of installation,which is conducive to finding problems and solving difficulties in time.

Prevent the risk of opening the mold immediately,because the cost of mold processing is generally very high.If the structure is found to be unscientific or other problems in the process of mold opening,the damage is obvious.Prototype manufacturing can prevent such damage and reduce the risk of mold release.

Make the product launch time much earlier,because of the advancement of prototype production,you can use the prototype for product promotion before the mold is developed,and even the early sales and production preparations to occupy the market as soon as possible.

According to the manufacturing process,the prototype is divided into CNC prototype and manual prototype;

CNC prototypes are mainly produced and processed by CNC machines. According to different production equipment,they are divided into laser rapid prototyping technology and CNC prototypes.

During this period,the prototypes of laser rapid prototyping technology are mainly matched with SLA prototypes,that is,prototypes produced and processed by using the skills of laser rapid prototyping technology. In fact,it matches with other CNC prototypes:CNC prototypes.That is,the CNC machine is used to produce the processed prototype model.

Advantages of CNC prototype:The advantage of the CNC prototype is that it can accurately reflect the information content represented by the engineering drawings.The surface quality of the CNC prototype is very high, especially in the middle and later stages of production and processing.The parts need to be painted.Therefore,CNC prototype manufacturing has increasingly become the mainstream of the prototype manufacturing industry.

If you want the prototype model to be close to the finished product and to detect the actual effect of the appearance,you must make a prototype model.After the prototype model is completed,it must be polished. What is the polishing of the prototype model?

Prototype model polishing is to eliminate burrs,oily dust on the surface of the part or the surface of the material,reduce the surface roughness of the surface of the product,and improve the adhesion of the coating after polishing the old paint film.Prototype model polishing can be divided into traditional manual polishing and modern polishing.

After a prototype part is CNC processed,its surface will inevitably cause many burrs and knife marks.At this time,it is necessary to manually solve this problem manually.Generally,people will choose sandpaper for sanding,or sanding and polishing.The basic appearance solutions include sanding,sandblasting,sanding and polishing,coloring,silk screen ink,and electroplating.

As a professional manufacturer,we have the capabilities to produce the finest Visual Design Models,Full-functional Engineering Prototypes or Low volume production runs that allow you to proof your designs thoroughly,and help you to focus on key elements of product development.

What are the advantages of SLS 3d printing process？

/in , /by

Compared with other rapid prototyping processes,the SLS 3d printing process for prototype production is unique in that it can directly produce metal prototypes.At the same time,this process also has the following advantages:

  1. The SLS 3d printing process is relatively simple,depending on the type and particle size of the material used,and the geometry and complexity of the prototype.The process can generally achieve a tolerance of ±0.15mm within the entire range of the prototype.When the powder particle size is less than 0.1mm,the accuracy of the prototype after molding can reach ±1%.
  2. There is no need to design a support structure,and the suspended layer that appears during the lamination process can be directly supported by the unsintered powder; and the material utilization rate is high,because there is no need to make a base support,the material utilization rate is high; the production cycle is short,and the application surface wide.

Die casting-Aluminum part

/in , , /by

Aiming at the shortcomings of die-cast aluminum: “Due to the high speed of liquid metal filling the cavity when die-casting aluminum, the fluid state is unstable, so the general die-casting aluminum method is used, and the casting is prone to pores and cannot be heat treated.” So it is easy to cause poor appearance of the product,and the defective rate of the product is very high.

Now there is a new process: extrusion aluminum + die-cast aluminum. That is, the exterior surface of the middle frame of the product is extruded with profile, and the internal structural surface of the middle frame is die-cast. The process is to place the aluminum profile into a mold after preliminary CNC processing, and then die-cast the internal structure. At high temperatures, the contact surface between the profile aluminum and the die-cast aluminum is partially molten, which makes the two more closely integrated.

Advantage:

  • Significantly reduce CNC machining time, improve efficiency and reduce costs.
  • Close structure
  • The appearance surface anodizing not affected by die-cast aluminum, avoiding the defects of die-cast aluminum anodizing.

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.

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 surface finish of prototypes–laser engraving

/in , , /by

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.
