Two methods of mold proofing classification
Hand plate proofing is one or several functional templates made according to the appearance or structure of the product without opening the mold, which is used to check the rationality of the appearance or structure. The following will introduce the hand plate model of two classification methods.
First, according to the production method
1. Numerical control hand plate
Its main workload is completed by CNC machine tools, according to the different equipment used, can be divided into RP hand plate and CNC hand plate.
2, hand board
Most of its work is done by hand.
3, RP hand plate
It is mainly produced by laser rapid prototyping technology. CNC hand plate is mainly the production of processing center hand plate.
Compared with CNC hand plate, RP hand plate has its own advantages:
The advantages of RP hand plate mainly lie in the speed, but mainly through the stacking process forming, so the RP hand plate is generally rough, the wall thickness of the product also has certain requirements, the wall thickness is too thin can not be produced.
The advantages of CNC hand board is that it can accurately reflect the information expressed in the drawings. The surface quality of CNC hand board is high, especially after the surface spraying and screen printing, even more glorious than the products produced after opening the mold. Therefore, CNC hand plate processing has become the mainstream of hand plate manufacturing industry.
Two, according to the use of materials
According to the materials used for hand plate proofing, it can be divided into metal hand plate, plastic hand plate and silicone hand plate
1, metal hand plate
Its raw material is aluminum, magnesium alloy and other metal materials, usually some electronic products, such as computers, players and so on.
2, plastic hand board
Its manufacturing material for plastic, mainly some plastic products of the hand plate.
3, silicone hand plate
Its material is silicone, usually used to show the shape of the product planning hand plate.
The above is the classification of hand plate, it can directly reflect the designer's creativity in the form of physical objects, so in the process of new product development and product modeling review, hand plate proofing is widely used.
