Rapid prototyping services in Gj-Cnc
Fast 3D printing. 3D printing is the most popular rapid prototyping process, the fast 3D prototyping service only takes a short time to produce the final parts, with great freedom of design and suitable for low production due to affordable price. Common 3D printing techniques used to make prototypes are FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM, etc. The choice of prototyping techniques depends on the type of material and requirements.
Fast CNC machining. Rapid prototyping of CNC machined parts is achieved by CNC machine tools such as lathes, mills and CNC machining centers. CNC prototyping offers a variety of materials and finishing options, CNC prototyping can be combined with other types of prototyping services.
Fast sheet metal production. Rapid prototyping of sheet metal is primarily used for sheet metal production, related techniques are cutting, shaping, welding, bending, stretching, shrinking, etc. Rapid prototyping of sheet metal is generally used for flat parts, such as housings, can accommodate a wide range of sizes but requires longer installation times , which can bring higher costs.
Fast injection. Rapid injection molding allows us to prototype injection molded parts for full functionality or suitability testing. Prototype molding can be built quickly, and the part has the shape and functions that a plastic prototype needs for testing, fitting, and operation. Most colors and materials are available.
What is rapid prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is the rapid fabrication of a three-dimensional model or physical part of their designs, using a set of different techniques and CAD data. Rapid prototyping techniques, including 3D printing, additive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining and injection molding. Rapid prototyping services are typically used to prototype any object layer by layer using CAD models. These critical data prototypes can be used for design, evaluation, testing and certification.
Is CNC machining used for rapid prototyping?
CNC machining is an ideal method for prototyping, CNC machining is fast, accurate and very versatile, working with almost all solid materials, including plastics and metals. There are also no minimum quantities, so one prototype can be made as 1000 pieces. If you need strong mechanical parts that are fully functional and have precise deviations, CNC prototyping is a good option.
What is prototyping?
CNC prototyping is a process in which a machine tool manages computers and is used to perform operations according to digital data entered into the machine. CAD / CAM software has been adopted to create special designs and obtain data or instruction files. Commonly used machine tools, including lathes, drills, mills, etc. CNC prototyping provides an efficient way to make prototypes. Speed is a key issue when prototyping, which is one of the main advantages provided by a prototype CNC machining, there is no need to add data to the computer every time a part is made when a file is stored, automation machines can greatly improve speed.
Advantages of CNC machining prototypes
CNC machining prototypes give you the exact size and shape of the desired product. It often provides a high level of tolerance and precision.
With dimensions and other data programmed into the software, multiple of the same pieces can be produced at once.
CNC machining minimizes the involvement of human labor in production, which greatly reduces errors and errors caused by manual operations.
CNC prototyping is fast prototyping, does not take much time to complete production and allows mass production with high quality.
Compared to other fast production, CNC machining is suitable for prototype development because it works with a wide range of materials.
