Where is the prototype model better than the mold opening?

long time ago, when customers developed new products, they opened the mold directly and did not care whether the design of the drawings was reasonable, whether there are errors or loopholes, due to the lack of test inspection before mold opening, every time the product opened is found to be defective, irreparable losses have been caused. The prototype model is different. It is one or several products made according to the 3d drawings of the product without opening the mold, functional template used to check whether the appearance or structure is reasonable.

The prototype model is different from the mold as follows:

1. The cost of the prototype model is relatively small, mainly used for testing, so the number is usually not too much, moreover, due to the continuous maturity of CNC processing, vacuum film, 3d printing and other technologies, the cost of prototype production has dropped significantly compared with before. The cost of directly making molds generally ranges from tens of thousands or 100,000, while the cost of molds for medical devices and robot types is millions. In addition, some prototypes can be sold directly as commodities in the market in small batches. The appearance and refinement of their prototypes are no less than that of the mold opening, and the cost is less than a tenth of the mold opening.

2. The time spent on the prototype model is small, generally speaking, the time taken to open the mold is very long, less than half a month, more than a few months or even longer. The cycle of making a prototype model is very short, usually in a few days. If 3d printing is used, the speed is faster, usually on the same day.

3. The prototype model can be displayed as a sample at the exhibition before the product is not listed, do a good job in promoting new products in advance, and even get orders directly at the exhibition, and the opening of the mold does not have such advantages. To sum up, the prototype model is less expensive than the mold opening, and the time spent is short.

In short, the prototype model is compared to the opening model, the cost is relatively small, the time is relatively small, and the processing speed is much faster than the mold opening.
