friends engaged in the prototype industry may hear a word brilliantly, that is, highlight, so what is highlight? In simple terms, the prototype surface is made brighter by some processes. Whether it is a plastic prototype or a metal prototype, you can achieve the effect of high gloss, but different materials use different processes. Let's introduce them in detail.

for ABS material, only polishing and polishing can achieve the effect of high gloss, but this is a natural highlight, which is used very little. For the 3d printed resin material prototype, the effect of high light can only be sprayed with light oil and can't pass UV. Once it is irradiated by ultraviolet rays, deformation will easily occur. Plastic prototypes of other materials, such (Pc, acrylic, etc) , They want to achieve the effect of highlights must first spray light oil, and then UV. The effect of the metal prototype to achieve high gloss is to polish and then polish.

In addition, electroplating and water plating can also achieve the effect of high gloss, and the principle of electroplating and water plating is basically the same, all of them are coated with alloy on the surface of the prototype, making the surface of the prototype more beautiful. However, water plating is much harder than electroplating. Before water plating, the prototype should generally be polished very smoothly, otherwise there will be many traces on the surface, and the cost of water plating is high, if rework is done, it is very uneconomical.

The above is some explanation of the prototype highlight knowledge by the extension model, hope to help you.
