Which material is good for making transparent prototypes

In the prototype industry, the materials commonly used to make transparent prototypes are pc and MMA (Acrylic) However, some customers have a habit. If this product uses PC transparent material in future mass production, they also choose PC transparent material when asking for prototype. However, there is a problem worth noting that the texture of the PC material is relatively hard. In the later polishing and polishing process, it is very difficult to make the product transparent as the mass production goods. Therefore, when making a transparent prototype, it is better to choose acrylic material. Let's explain it in detail.

The above picture shows the pc prototype

From the perspective of polishing and polishing, the pc prototype takes a long time, 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 acrylic materials with softer materials to make transparent prototypes.

The above picture shows the acrylic 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, you 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. There is an image of the difference between the pc prototype and the acrylic prototype, that is,' The transparency of the pc prototype is smoked out, and the transparency of the acrylic prototype is ground out'.

after listening to my explanation, I believe you know more about transparent prototypes, and can choose the right material when making transparent prototype later.
