What are the processes of rapid prototype production

Prototypes are usually products that have just been developed or designed. Prototypes are the first step in verifying the feasibility of a product. It is a direct and effective way to find out the defects, deficiencies, and drawbacks of the designed product, so that the defects can be targeted. Improve until the deficiencies cannot be found from individual prototypes. After the prototyping is completed, a series of manual operations are required in the later stage to produce the finished product. So do you know what the production process of the prototype is? Next, the Xiehe prototype processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

1. Manual processing: Samples made by CNC, SLA, and complex molds are sampled, polished, and assembled. This procedure is to assemble all parts into a finished product.

2. Oil spraying: According to the customer's requirements, the prototype samples that have been made are sprayed with colors in the environment of the dust-free oil room to make the prototype samples more vivid and bright, and increase the realism of the prototype samples.

3. Silk screen printing: Printing words or patterns on the plane of the prototype samples we have made.

4. Pad printing: printing characters or patterns on the uneven surface of the hand board. This process requires an additional steel plate on the basis of silk screen printing.

5. Laser engraving: Use a laser to remove the paint on the surface of the product to make some parts transparent. For example: mobile phone buttons, car DVD buttons. Lenses etc.

6. Electroplating: In order to make the details of the product more eye-catching, the product color is coated with a layer of silver, and the sample before electroplating must be very smooth. There can be no traces of impurities, and then soaked in chemical potions. This operation is divided into: water crossing and vacuum crossing.

7. Oxidation: That is, anodic treatment, which oxidizes the surface of aluminum to form a layer of film, making the product not easy to scratch.

8. Wire drawing: draw thin lines on the surface of aluminum to make the sample texture better.

9. High gloss: On the aluminum sample that has been surface treated, use high-speed CNC to process a circle to reveal the true color of aluminum.

10. Over UV: Spray a layer of transparent oil on the surface of the product and dry it with ultraviolet light to make the product brighter and less flower-resistant, just like a protective layer.

11. Relief: Carving some patterns or figures, animals, plants and other effects by hand on a plane is called relief.

12. Clay sculpture: hand-carve some patterns or figures, animals, plants and other shapes with red clay, which is called clay sculpture.

13. Lathe: There is a chuck to clamp various materials into an ellipse, a round cup, etc.

14. Milling machine: similar to CNC, but it is a gong machine controlled by manual and automatic switches.

15. Sand blasting: Spray a layer of sand on the surface of a prototype to make the prototype look more high-end and perfect.

The above content is the production process of the prototype introduced by the Xiehe prototype processing manufacturer, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about the prototype, please call the Xiehe prototype processing factory, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
