Industrial product prototypes often require prototypes. Prototypes are the first step to verify the feasibility of a product. They are the most direct and effective way to find out the defects, deficiencies, and drawbacks of a designed product, thereby making targeted improvements to the defects, eliminating expensive mold opening costs, reducing R&D risks, and accelerating R&D efficiency.
What is CNC prototype processing?
CNC prototype processing is the process of manufacturing plastic and metal prototypes through CNC machining, which is used to closely simulate the appearance, function and material properties of the final product to test the suitability and manufacturability of components to prove and improve their designs. In the fields of automotive industry, electronic products and industrial design, CNC prototype processing plays an important role, helping enterprises to verify product design and produce samples, and promote product innovation and R&D process.
Why use CNC prototype processing?
① Use real materials: CNC prototype processing is able to use a variety of production-grade plastic and metal materials, which allows engineers to use the same (or similar) materials as the final parts to make prototypes to test the performance, function and manufacturing cost of the product.
② High precision and repeatability: CNC prototype processing can achieve higher levels of precision and accuracy, usually up to ± 0.05mm or higher. This is a repeatable tolerance that can be achieved again and again in the production process of parts in small batches.
③ Finishing and consistent surface quality: CNC prototype processing can provide consistent and smooth surface quality, usually with a machined surface roughness of Ra 1.6μm, and super-finished surfaces can even reach a surface finish of Ra 0.2μm.
