CNC Prototype Machining: How to Make CNC Prototype Machining?

 

 

 

CNC prototype machining and manufacturing is a method of prototype proofing by using CNC machines to cut off excess materials through subtractive manufacturing. CNC machining speed is fast, cost is low, and the processing materials have the requirements of high strength, high temperature resistance, high toughness, transparency, etc.; and the surface treatment of CNC prototype machiningcan be various, such as grinding, painting, sandblasting, oxidation, polishing, silk screen printing, UV , electroplating, etc., its function can be completely equivalent to mold products; it can complete customers' ideas in terms of appearance, installation, and function verification; therefore, CNC prototype machining is the primary method for modern prototype proofing.

 

 

Prototype manufacturing is a kind of mold that is often used in industrial design and production. VMT CNC prototype machiningfactory believes that most CNC prototype machiningmanufacturers use CNC machining centers in production. When making prototype machining parts, the following steps are mainly followed:

 

 

1. Drawings. Drawings are the reference for determining the best CNC machining method and route, so that the cost will be more accurate to meet the processing requirements of the customer's products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Materials. In CNC prototype machining and manufacturing, the quality of materials directly affects the performance of CNC prototype parts. Therefore, in the process of CNC production, strict inspection and testing mechanisms are usually adopted for the quality of materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Programming. Programming is the first step in CNC prototype processing. The programmer will analyze the 3D data of the product and write the programming language that controls the CNC machining center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. CNC machining. When the VMTCNC prototype machining factory is processing the programming language is input into the computer, and the precise processing is carried out through the command of the program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Manual machining. After the CNC prototype machining parts are refurbished and processed, the work completed at the same time includes data proofreading work, as well as burr removal, grinding and other processes, which can be processed manually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Surface treatment. Various methods are used to achieve different surface effects in the renderings. In the treatment, there are mainly spray painting, sandblasting, oxidation, polishing, silk screen printing, UV, electroplating, pvd, and anodizing in individual cases. Drawing treatment, etc.

7. Quality inspection. After the CNC prototype is processed, a full inspection is carried out to ensure that there are no problems such as poor oxidation and color difference after the surface treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Assembly. VMTCNC prototype machiningfactory needs to carry out assembly and inspection work after surface treatment of parts, but before surface treatment, it is generally necessary to carry out trial assembly and inspection work to ensure that the size and accuracy of CNC prototype machiningparts meet customer standards , and then oxidize, and also reduce unnecessary oxidation costs and ensure the performance of CNC prototype machining parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Packaging. The VMT CNC prototype machining factory will carry out quality inspection after the product is processed, and then package the product. If the customer has packaging requirements, the customer's packaging requirements shall prevail, and if not, according to the VMT CNC prototype machining factory.

Why manufacture CNC prototyping?

 

 

1. Check the appearance design, and show the designer's idea in real objects, so as to find the shortcomings and shortcomings in the design.

 

2. Check the structure and function design, intuitively reflect whether the structure is reasonable or not, the difficulty of the installation, find the engineering and process problems of the product, and optimize the product structure and function.

 

3. Reduce the risk of direct mold opening, prevent loss, and save development costs.

 

4. Before the mold is developed, use the prototype model for early publicity (such as participating in exhibitions) and preparation for production.
