Plastic is the most economic raw material of construction and consumption prototype.Its versatility
offers many design choices, at the same time, the processing cost is low, they are the main
prototype in today’s market. If there is no plastic, our life and environment model is almost
unbelievable. Compared with the metal, the cost of per cubic inch plastic is very low.The plastic
cannot completely replace the metal in the metal application filed,but the latest plastic alloy in many
traditional metal prototype application market has greatly shortened the gap. Designers are
responsible for final cost of the prototype, including the design and manufacture . If didn’t design
correct in the function,raw material,and final performance of the prototype,it is a failure.Therefore,
to meet these needs, at the same time ensure the prototype can be processed and produced on
the premise of meet the target cost of the prototype,designers should responsible for this.
Designers cannot sacrifice the quality of the prototype for the price.In order to meet the final
application performance and expected cost ,there are many plastic material can be choose.
The design of the plastic prototype account for 20% of the final prototype cost.It mainly depends
on the complexity of the prototype, design time, the required information of studying prototype.
