What is Rapid Prototyping Service ?
Rapid prototyping service means quickly design a physical model or prototype with using 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software. Then process first samples in short time at cost-efficiecy before mass production, and deliver them to the client and test their design and identify their concept into actual object. The prototyping service must be faster, cost-effective and high quality turnkey project service. Through optimzing process and technique, deliver the custom process project to the client in hours or a few days.
Plastic 3D Printing And Die Casting Prototyping Services
Plastic 3D Printing Prototyping Service
TangSheng engineers and designers design visual 3d product model with CAD software, and convert to STL/3MF files. Then import these files into 3D printing machine, genearate g-code to execute machine orders, and do a 3d prototype printing.
1.Option For Plastic Material
We choose the best material among the below common plastic material(PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU and Resin) depends on the application of the plastic part. Meanwhile we designate the right 3d printing machine to work.
2. 3D Printing Process
Import the according 3d printing file into the 3d printing program, and setting 3d pring machine and start 3d printing process.
3. Post-Processing (Finishing)
The printed plastic model maybe need minimized post-process and finish the smooth surface finish option and improve the appearance.
4. Inspecting & Testing its application
The samples will be inspected and test its application and fast finish the turn-key project sample confirmation issue.
Die Casting Prototyping Service
Die casting prototypes need be made by die casting process. We suggest that the precision casting die should be designed and manufactured. Depends on the material of custom die castings, select the proper die casting method to cast the prototype. Include two types of die casting processes, which are cold chamber die casting, and fits high melting point metal alloys material and hot chamber die casting,suitable for low melting metal process at high efficiency.
- Design & Tooling Preparation
- Mold Fabrication
- Casting Process
- Post-Processing
- Inspect And Test The Die Casting Part
- Deliver Prototypes to The Client
Plastic 3D Printing VS. Die Casting Prototyping Services
| Plastic 3D Printing | Metal Die Casting | |
|---|---|---|
| Material Differences | PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, Resin (SLA),Low to Moderate (up to ~120°C for some plastics),Layered texture, need further post-process | Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium,High (200–400°C, depending on alloy),Heavier than plastic but stronger,Smooth |
| Production Speed & Lead Time | Hours to 2 days (no tooling needed),just upload a 3D file | 1–4 weeks (mold fabrication required),requires mold design & machining, |
| Cost Comparison | direct printing, no mold cost, suitable for low quanity and rapid prototypes, | Need the casting die to cast prototypes, need mold cost, but the low production cost. |
| Accuracy & Tolerances | ±0.1–0.5mm (varies by technology),Requires post-processing | ±0.1–0.3mm (better consistency), further post-processing |
| Strength & Durability | Tensile Strength, 30–100 MPa, can endure frequent impacts, poor faitigue resistance | Tensile strength, 200–400 MPa, withstand repeative impacts, excellent faitigue resistance |
Rapid Prototyping Capability
We have introduced advanced rapaid prototyping equipments so that provide our consideration services to our client, when the client requires faster samples to confirm it before large scale production for OEM or ODM turnkey project in short time or within hours and a few days. Conjunction with some specific requirements, we can make the desired prototypes in shorter time. These advanced equipments will finish more turkey projects.
