What are the common processing methods of hardware prototypes

If you need to make a hardware prototype, you need to know how it is processed, in this way, we can choose the appropriate way to make the prototype according to the actual situation, thus reducing the cost of making the prototype. Below is the old driver of the prototype industry-- The extension model explains the way the hardware prototype is made.

CNC machining: CNC machining is the main processing method of the prototype. It can process plastic hardware and other materials, and the accuracy of processing is plus or minus 0. 1mm. Molding features: the size of the machined material is large, the speed is fast, and the strength is high. Suitable for some hardware shell products, and the material cost can be controlled. Processing materials: stainless steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, etc. The shape of CNC machining will be limited. If the prototype is too complicated, it needs to be disassembled.

3D printing: metal 3D printing is located on the top of the 3D printing pyramid and is considered a technology with high threshold, fast growth and promising future, from the manufacturing of aircraft engine components to medical implants, automotive components, Aerospace Satellite components, etc. , it is pushed to the forefront. Since the 3D printing metal prototype is a relatively new project, the surface of the hardware prototype printed by many prototype factories is relatively rough and the accuracy is not so high. If you need to print out a very sophisticated hardware prototype, the equipment you need to buy is very expensive, usually up to hundreds of units. 3d printing is not limited by the shape and can be printed no matter how complex the prototype is.

CNC machining and 3d printing are two common processing methods for hardware prototypes. I hope this article can help you.
