During the nachining of prototype, the CNC numerically-controlled machine tool
should be usually used, which occupy about 80% in the whole prototype processing
volume. The materials of CNC prototype are ABS, PMMA, PC, PP, POM and so on.
ABS is the most common material,which can be glued, splited to machine, strong viscidity
of polishing and spraying.
The machining details of CNC prototype
1.Conventional CNC prototype: ABS material is generally selected by manufacturers.
Prototype made from ABS is easy to machine and pretty post-processing.
2. CNC prototype with high temperature resistance.Ethoxyline resin,Pheno, balck PC,
PA can be selected. Except black PC, other three materials should be machined in whole part.
3. CNC prototype with abrasive resistance. POM or PA can be selected. These two materials
should be machined in whole part.
4. CNC prototype with hightenacity. PA or PP should be selected. These two materials
should be machined in whole part.
5. CNC transparent prototype. PMMA,transparent ABS, transparent PC can be selected.
CNC prototype made from such material have the effect of real product after polishing.
6. The surface finished of CNC prototype can be divided into spraying, plating, polishingm,
silk-screen, pad printing. The spraying of prototype can be divided into glossy surface,
matte surface, texture surface, transparency, semitransparency, fluorescence color and rubber oil.
