The Importance of prototypes

The prototype is known as the mother of industry, while the prototype is regarded as the head of industry. Industrial manufacturing cannot do without mold manufacturing, but many people often overlook a process in mold manufacturing called prototyping, also known as prototype modeling. Some clients lack a systematic understanding of prototypes and believe that prototypes are only made from plastic materials, which is a one-sided view. Nowadays, prototyping has undergone huge changes, and prototypes and models are no longer limited to plastic products alone.

Industrial Man - Plastic Prototyping

Starting from the era of plastic prototypes, it gradually evolved into various hardware, plastic, cotton spinning, composite materials, and so on. In every industry where products appear before mold manufacturing, there is a fixed process that requires prototypes for small-batch trial production. Plastic prototype samples are often made through several processes such as CNC machining, silicone molding, 3D printing, vacuum forming, etc. Additionally, some manual bonding, polishing, spraying, and screen printing techniques are used as auxiliary technologies, and a complete plastic prototype is ready.

Industrial Man- Metal Machining Prototyping

Most metal CNC machined prototypes are used in casting, such as engine and some precision hardware structures, which are used for printing and verifying during mass production, such as automobile axles, flashlights, and laser devices that mainly have a circular appearance. During the early stage of prototyping for metal components, composite machining with lathe and milling or lathe machining technologies are used for prototyping, while for products such as radiators, CNC machining methods are used to complete prototyping. Subsequently, surface processes such as oxidation, electroplating, and passivation are applied.

Industrial Man - Sheet Metal Prototyping

Various sheet metal enclosures and precision sheet metal products also require prototyping and custom prototyping before production. In fact, prototyping is a relatively complex industrial manufacturing process. During prototyping, there is a range of devices available. Industrial prototyping for sheet metal processing is fully equipped, covering the prototyping technologies of large workpieces and small parts. We have comprehensive prototyping skills and can provide customers with versatile prototyping technologies for various materials, including plastics, metals, hardware, cotton spinning, molding, and hot pressing.
