Do You Want To Make A Rapid Prototyping?

9


Do you have a great idea for a new plastic product? 


But after making the 3D drawings,you may need to test out a few different versions? Means you need to create different types of your product to show to customers. Either way, rapid plastic prototyping will help you develop your product to a real sample and make the improvement ,you could leap from a part design to a mold tooling then mass production with less risk. So it is worth to learn, what rapid plastic prototyping services are available, how each production method works, and which prototyping method is right for your project.



Unless your part is very simple, we will always recommend prototyping it. Prototyping a product and using it for the application it’s intended for can be very revealing. Often there are issues that are otherwise overlooked by simply looking at a drawing on a computer monitor:

  • What's the function of the part?

  • Does it need to assemble with other parts?

  • Did these dimensions are in correct area?

  • Does it look as appealing when seen in actual size?

Finding these things out early can save you a ton of money. While even a little change to a product after launch can be quite expensive.

Making changes during the design and prototype stage is the best and economic way. There are many prototyping processes available, and your part design engineer should be able to tell you which one is best suited for your product.

  • 3D printing is the most common process and is relatively inexpensive. Printers today can create parts indifferent colors and hardness’ and can create presentation-quality prototypes.


  • Vacuum Casting/ Polymer casting is another common method. It starts with a 3D printed prototype that is submerged in a liquid silicone.Once the silicone hardens to a jelly-like consistency the prototype is cut out, leaving a void in the silicone the shape of the prototype. Finally, a liquid polyurethane is poured into that void and left to solidify (often overnight). These silicone molds will produce 20-50 parts before being destroyed. This process is often used for larger quantities and presentation-quality prototypes.


  • CNC Machining or CNC fabricating is the third process used and is often determined by the geometry of the part. Many products cannot be fabricated because of their design, but the ones that can benefit from a relatively low cost. This process uses conventional equipment to machine sheets, rods, tubes, etc. to create your product.
