FAQ
1. What is Prototypes?
Speaking simply, prototype is a functional tool for checking model appearance and structural rationality according to several finished appearance prototypes and structure prototypes under without moulding premise.
2. Why prototyping model is needed?
There are so many benefits of rapid prototyping: 1).Detect design flaws before the manufacture of tooling. 2). Increase visualization capability during the early phases of design by using rapid physical models. 3). Time and Cost savings.
3. What are Prototypes Used for?
The answer can be more open with the development of rapid prototyping technology. But the focus always remain to get right, fast products down into the market to increase profitability.
4. What’s services do you provide ?
Sujie provide full range of Prototyping service, using our in-house facilities and network of partners. Some of services we provide 3D printing, SLA, SLS, RIM, CNC machining, Vacuum Casting, Investment casting, Sheet Metal parts and tooling, CAD/CAM service. For more information please send email to us.
5. What tolerances can you hold?
Typical tolerances on our SLA models are about +/- 0.005". For parts over 5" we can hold around +/- 0.001" to 0.0015" per inch. Part geometry and build orientation can also have an effect on tolerances.
6. How can I get extensive help with my project?
Sujie will assist with your project to the best of our ability, however if your project requires extensive assistance, Sujie has knowledgeable project engineers who can assist you with all your project questions and needs.
7. What materials used for rapid prototyping?
The materials used in rapid prototyping are usually plastic such as ABS, POM, PMM, PA, PC and so on, metals such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc, copper and so on or resin material.
8. What are the advantages and disadvantages of rapid prototyping manufacturing£¿
Significant advantages of rapid prototyping include reduction of project cost and risk. Generally, one or more prototypes are developed in the process of software development in a series of incremental and iterative steps. Every prototype that is manufactured is based on the previous designs’ performance and it is a corrective process through which the past design defects or problems are corrected. The product is readied for production when the prototype is refined as per requirements and meets all the design goals like manufacturability, robustness and functionality.
9. Will you sign an NDA form?
Yes, we sign NDA form
10. Do you have office or factory in Hongkong?
We are registered in Hong Kong with manufacturing facilities located in Shenzhen City of China Mainland.
11. If I want to send my 3D model drawings to you, which format drawings will be better?
We need the 3D modeling files in IGS,STP,STL,XT formats so that our engineer could give you the project suggestion and solution.
12. How long does it take to receive a quotation?
Normally, we can submit quotation within 1 day.
13. What information do we need to provide in order to get a tool quotation?
We need at least: 3D file of the part, prototype quantity, prototype material, Post-Production Finishing
14. What is the usual lead time for a prototype?
Depending on the complexity and size, quantity of the prototype, but for standard size, 2-3 pcs, the lead time is 3 to 5 days
15. Can you explain your terms of payment
For prototype, pay 50% when place P.O, and another 50% before mold delivery.
16. How long does it take to ship a prototype from China to Europe and US?
For DHL, normally take around 3-5 days.
