If you’re in industries like automotive prototyping, consumer electronics development, or medical device testing, you’ve probably relied on silicone duplicates molds for low-volume production. But one question always comes up: How many times can these molds actually be used? このガイドで, we’ll break down the mold’s lifespan, what affects it, how to make it […]
Silicone compounding is the backbone of silicone duplicating—it’s how you create the flexible molds that replicate prototypes into functional parts. しかし、複利の小さな間違いでさえ (間違った硬化剤の量または不十分なバブルコントロールのように) カビを台無しにすることができます, プロジェクトの遅延, そしてお金を無駄にします. 下に, 私たちは注意すべき最も重要な問題を分析します, と
Polishing sheet metal fabrication prototypes is more than just making them look good—it removes burrs, smooths rough edges, and boosts durability, which is critical for testing functionality and impressing stakeholders. Whether you’re working with steel, アルミニウム, or copper prototypes, following the right steps and using the correct tools will save you time and avoid costly
If you’re working with silicone compound materials—whether for silicone duplicating, mold making, or low-volume casting—understanding their melting point is critical. The melting point determines if the material can withstand processing temperatures, avoid deformation, and work with other materials (like ABS or PC) in your project. 下に, we break down the melting point of silicone compounds,
Choosing the right materials for silicone Vacuum casting is make-or-break for your project—whether you’re making small-batch prototypes or low-volume production parts. The process relies on three core material types: prototype materials (to create the master template), mold materials (to make the flexible silicone mold), and casting materials (to produce the final parts). 下に, we break
If you’re looking for a fast, cost-effective way to make small-batch prototypes or low-volume production parts, the silicone Vacuum casting process is a game-changer. Unlike mass-production methods like injection molding (which requires expensive molds), silicone vacuum casting uses flexible silicone molds to create high-quality parts—perfect for new product development or small runs of 10–500 pieces.
If you’re turning a product idea into reality, understanding the prototype making process is essential to avoid delays, wasted materials, and design flaws. A well-executed prototype bridges the gap between digital designs and physical products—helping you test functionality, refine aesthetics, and validate ideas before mass production. 下に, we break down every key stage of the
If you’re working on rapid mold processing, screen printing your prototype model is a cost-effective way to add clear patterns, 文章, or logos—critical for testing design aesthetics and functionality. But doing it right requires following precise steps and avoiding common mistakes. 下に, we break down the entire process, share key tips for success, and include
製品開発中の場合, picking the right prototype factory can make or break your project. A good factory delivers high-quality prototypes on time to keep your timeline on track, while a poor one leads to delays, flawed parts, and wasted budget. To help you make an informed choice, we’ve broken down 10 must-check factors—with
If you work in product development or manufacturing, understanding how prototype parts differ from machined parts is key to avoiding costly mistakes. These two manufacturing outputs serve entirely distinct stages of production—one focuses on testing ideas, while the other delivers consistent, production-ready components. 下に, we break down their differences with clear data, 例, and actionable
製品開発中の場合, you’ve likely wondered about the key distinctions between prototype parts and injection molding products. これらの2つのステージは、製品のコンセプトを市場対応のアイテムに変える上で重要であるが非常に異なる役割を果たします. プロジェクトの明確な決定を下すのに役立ちます, we’ll break down their differences from production processes to
あなたが製品開発者の場合, エンジニア, または、製品ライフサイクルをナビゲートする起業家, あなたはおそらく尋ねた: 「プロトタイプの部品と金型部品の違いは何ですか?」とも製品デザインの物理的なバージョンですが, それらはまったく異なる役割を果たします。テストと洗練に焦点を当てています, もう1つは市場の大量生産に関するものです. Mixing them up
あなたが製品開発者の場合, デザイナー, または、アイデアを物理的なオブジェクトに変えようとしている起業家, あなたはおそらく疑問に思ったでしょう: 「プロトタイプ工場またはモデル工場で作業する必要がありますか?」一見, どちらも「デザインの物理バージョン」を作成しているようですが、目標, プロセス, そして、出力は世界離れています. Choosing the wrong one
あなたがCNCプラスチックプロトタイピングに取り組んでいる製品デザイナーまたはエンジニアの場合, あなたは素晴らしいデザインが洗練された仕上げに値することを知っています. 水移動印刷 (水路印刷とも呼ばれます) ゲームを変える表面装飾技術です。複雑なパターンを追加できます (木目のように, 炭素繊維, またはカスタムロゴ) CNCプラスチックプロトタイプに, turning a
あなたがCNCプラスチックプロトタイプに取り組んでいる製品デザイナーまたはエンジニアの場合, 基本的な機械加工仕上げを超えて、あなたの部品の外観と雰囲気を高めたいかもしれません. ワイヤー図 (ブラッシングとも呼ばれます) 完璧なソリューションです, プラスチック表面の均一な線, 金属製のブラシ部品のなめらかなテクスチャーを模倣します. This process not
If you’re a product designer, エンジニア, or entrepreneur gearing up for prototype development, one of the first and most critical questions you’ll face is: What materials can be used for prototype processing? The right material choice directly impacts your prototype’s functionality, 耐久性, 料金, and even how well it represents the final product. このガイドで,
