The classification of prototype
According to the manufacture method points, it can be divided into manual prototype and numerical control prototype
Manual prototype: the main work is done by hand.
Numerical control prototype: the mail work is done by numerical control machines, according to the different equipment used
Then it can be divided into laser Rapid Prototyping ( RP, Rapid Prototyping) and processing center( CNC) prototyping
A: RP prototype: mainly use laser rapid prototyping technology to process.
B: CNC prototype: mainly produced by CNC machines
Advantages and disadvantages between RP prototype and CNC machining prototype:
The advantages of RP prototype mainly in its rapidity, but it is mainly through the stacking technology molding, so RP is rough relative to
CNC machining prototype, and it is has certain requirements about product’s wall thickness, such as if the wall thickness is too think then
It cannot be produced.
The advantages of CNC machining prototype mainly in it can be very accurate reflect drawings’ expression information, and CNC
Machining prototype surface quality is high, especially after complete surface coating and silk screen, even more shining than the
Product produced by mold. Therefore, CNC prototype manufacturing become the mainstream in prototyping line increasingly.
According to the material points, it can be divided into plastic prototype, silicone prototype and metal prototype:
Plastic prototype: raw material is plastic, mainly for some plastic products, such as TV, displayer, telephone and so on.
Silicone prototype: raw material is silicone, mainly for showing some appearance prototypes, such as car, telephone, toy, artware
Product and articles of everyday use product and so on.
3) Metal prototype: raw materials are aluminum magnesium alloy and metal, mainly for high-end products, such as notebook
Computer, senior playback, MP3 player, CD machine, etc.
