Make a Transparent Prototype, how to choose a material

under normal circumstances, customers will choose transparent materials if they want to make prototypes of high-end atmospheric grades. In the prototype industry, the materials that can make transparent effects mainly include acrylic and PC materials, but these two materials are different. So how to choose materials when making transparent prototypes?

From the perspective of polishing and polishing, the time spent on pc prototypes is relatively long, because its material is relatively hard, some small places can't be polished hard at all. Even if it is convenient to polish, it takes longer than the acrylic prototype. On the contrary, it is much more convenient to use the material to teach the soft acrylic material to make a transparent prototype.

in terms of color, the pc material is not completely transparent. If you carefully observe the prototype made by the pc material, you will find that its surface is purple, if you want it to be completely transparent, need to invade the potion for a period of time (This is a chemical reaction); The acrylic material is completely transparent, so the acrylic prototype is already transparent when it is polished, and there is no need to do any processing.

said here, do you think that PC materials are not comparable to acrylic materials in all aspects? In fact, PC materials also have its advantages, such as high strength and good heat resistance, which are incomparable to acrylic materials, therefore, some products must be made of PC materials. For example, the car hub should bear heavy pressure, so the hub prototype is processed by PC materials. The Coffee Pot prototype is also processed by PC materials because of its strong heat resistance.

to sum up, if you are going to do a Transparent Prototype, if there is no special requirement for the prototype, it is better to use acrylic materials. If you need a prototype with high strength or high temperature resistance, it is better to use PC materials.
