Comparison of three common processing methods of ABS prototype model

In the prototype model industry, ABS prototypes are done more, and there are three main ways to process ABS prototypes: CNC machining, 3d printing and vacuum re-molding. What are the differences between these three processing methods? Here is a detailed introduction to the dimension model.

CNC machining:

1)Advantages: high precision, generally can reach 0. 05mm ~ 0. 1mm, the processing size range is large, and some CNC machining centers can process a prototype of two meters long; The material selection is diverse and the surface treatment effect is good.

2) Disadvantages: charging according to working hours, CNC machining is not cost-effective for small and complex prototypes.

3d printing:

1) Advantages: high precision, fast printing speed, and complex prototype printing details have advantages.

2) Disadvantages: charge by weight, high cost of printing large prototypes; There are restrictions on processing size; There are few printed materials, mainly light-sensitive resin and ABS.

vacuum complex:

1) Advantages: low cost, short production cycle and small batch (50-500)There are advantages in production.

2) Disadvantages: affected by the thermal expansion and contraction of silica gel liquid, the accuracy is relatively low, usually at 0. About 2mm; set of silicone molds can only copy 10 prototypes, the quantity is higher than 500.

The above is the comparison of CNC processing, 3d printing and vacuum compound mold summarized by the extension model, hoping to help you.

However, injection mold components isn't the only producer in domestic, and many people feel that Shenzhen Tuowei Model Technologies Co., Ltd.'s service leaves much to be desired in terms of functionality and design.
Compare the various types of that are available. At Tuowei Model, the range is constantly being updated with new models, technical details and competitive prices.
If Shenzhen Tuowei Model Technologies Co., Ltd. added selling plans, offered more hobby cnc router, and increased service regions, it would suit the needs of more users.
