In the design process of industrial products, after completing the design drawings, the most desirable thing for designers is to know the effect of their designed product after it is made into a physical object, whether the appearance of the product matches their design ideas, whether the structural design is reasonable, and so on? In order to solve this problem, the manufacturing of CNC plastic prototype is in response to this demand.
CNC plastic prototype is a method of making prototypes using computer numerical control (CNC) machines to process plastic materials. It controls the machine tool to perform precise cutting of materials through pre programmed programs, thereby producing models that are consistent with the design drawings. Common plastic materials include ABS, PC, PMMA (acrylic), PA (nylon), POM (stainless steel), PP, etc. Different materials are selected according to different product requirements to match performance requirements. Compared to traditional manual production or 3D printing, CNC plastic prototypes have higher dimensional accuracy and stronger structural stability. The surface treatment is smoother and can be directly used for assembly and functional testing.
CNC Plastic Prototype Manufacturing Process
1. StrongD Model sales confirm the drawings and processes with the customer, and the sales personnel then calculate the price with the quotation engineering department. After the price is given to the customer and they feel it is appropriate, we will confirm all the details and arrange for the production list. At the same time, the customer pays a 50% deposit.
2. Programming code will begin, and engineers will write the program based on the drawings and customer surface requirements, and finally input it into the CNC machine.
3. After programming is completed, we need to prepare materials and then go to the machine to select the corresponding props for CNC machining.
4. Starting from the polishing and post-processing process, the plastic prototype processed on the CNC machine needs to be analyzed by professional engineers to determine which important appearance surfaces, assembly surfaces, or rough ones require our professional technicians to polish.
5. The post-processing stage is also very important. The biggest advantage of the prototype is that the surface treatment effect is good, close to the final mass production effect, so most customers still choose CNC machining to make CNC enclosures prototypes. According to the process instructions provided by the customer, spray oil according to the color palette, which looks quite beautiful; Screen printing and laser engraving are also frequently used.
6. The final step is finished product inspection. All prototypes must undergo quality inspection before shipment to ensure timely delivery and the ability to deliver prototypes that satisfy customers.
