Material For Plastic prototype

Material For Plastic prototype
Making plastic prototype commonly use ABS,PC,PMMA,Nylon,POM and so on.Below is the material performance for reference.

ABS is the abbreviation of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic,which unify organically the properties of PB, PAN and PS.Therefore,ABS has good mechanical performance,such as nice impact strength,stable dimension,low water absorption, good corrosion resistance,high mechanical strength and rigidity.ABS also has great chemical properties and electrical insulation properties.For example,it can keep the shap when heating.

PC(Polycarbonate) is a transparent material that has excellent performance in mechanical property, insulating property and heat aging resistance.It usually be use for making medical prototyping and beauty equipment.

PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate),we also call it Acrylic that is a high transparency and brightness material.Main performance of PMMA is stable chemical resistance,good heat resistance and toughness,which is easy for machining and painting.

POM(polyformaldehyde) has great wear resistance,high mechanical strength and rigidness,but poor corrosion resistance and adhesiveness.

There still have other materials that can be use for making plastic prototype.Different performance’s material making different functional prototyping.Shenzhen E-Make Model Technology Co., Ltd is specialized in CNC rapid prototyping,we custom make prototypes according to customer’s requirement.If you want to realize your design,is welcome to contact us !
