Key Points for Processing and Manufacturing in a CNC Prototype Factory

2025-04-08

A CNC prototype factory specializes in manual prototyping using CNC machine tools to cut materials through a subtractive manufacturing process. CNC machining is fast and cost-effective, and the materials used in the process have properties such as high strength, high-temperature resistance, high toughness, and transparency. The surface treatment of CNC models can vary, including grinding, painting, sandblasting, oxidation, polishing, screen printing, UV coating, electroplating, and more. The resulting effects are comparable to those of molded products, allowing for accurate representation of customer designs in terms of appearance, assembly, and functional testing. Therefore, CNC prototype processing is a primary method of modern manual prototyping.

How a CNC Prototype Factory Creates Prototype Models:
Check the appearance design: Accurately showcase the designer's creativity and identify any shortcomings or defects in the design.
Test the structural function design: Intuitively reflect the rationality of the structure and installation challenges, identify existing engineering and technical issues, and optimize the product's structure and function.
Reduce the risk of direct mold production: Avoid losses and save on development costs by using prototypes.
Prepare for pre-promotion: Use the prototype model for pre-promotion activities (e.g., participating in exhibitions) and pre-production before mold development.
