Plastic hand boards are widely used because many products are themselves made of plastic and are commonly seen in daily life. The most common materials used for plastic prototypes are ABS, PC (transparent), PCMM (acrylic, transparent), and PU (small batch production of silicone models). Of course, the most common plastic prototypes are made of ABS. After cutting the ABS prototype, the internal molecular chains are cut, resulting in various shapes. What if the prototype factory produces plastic prototypes? What is the prototype craftsmanship like? Let's uncover the secrets of plastic prototype production in a prototype factory. Below are detailed answers to questions such as how to make plastic prototypes.

1、 Plastic prototype is processed and molded using CNC programming.
After writing the CNC program, the CNC machine directly processes the plastic and forms the desired model or part. The precision of CNC prototyping can reach plus or minus 0.01mm. There are many types of plastic prototypes, and the models made can meet high requirements.

2、 Prototype silicone replica:
Prototype replica model is made using existing templates in a vacuum state, often using PU material for infusion. This replication method can produce a model that is identical to the original, but this new model performs better than the original in all aspects. The model made is resistant to high temperatures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that blue is better than blue. When customers need to make dozens of identical handboards, this method can save the cost of making handboards.

3、 Prototype rapid prototyping method:
The prototype can be quickly divided into SLA and SLS molding methods. SLA has better quality after molding and can produce some high demand handicrafts. SLS has a wider range of application materials. Below is a detailed analysis of two rapid prototyping methods:
1. SLS is a powder material sintered and formed. It is processed using powder materials. Use high-intensity CO2 laser sintering on the surface of the already formed parts that have been spread. Stick firmly to the lower layer. Obtain a new cross-section. After repeating the above steps layer by layer, the model is ready. This method is simple to produce and has high accuracy. The material utilization rate is high and the production is relatively low.
2. SLA laser rapid prototyping is a computer-controlled program that scans and stacks layers by layer. Fast molding speed with minimal deviation from the drawing. Can quickly supplement some models.

4、 Manual processing of the prototype:
After the prototype is made using the above methods, it can be manually processed by carrying out a systematic post-processing of the model, including polishing, surface strengthening, painting, and other processing procedures. After completion, we can ship to the customer.
