How is Plastic Rapid Prototyping Used for Manufacturing Automobile Parts?
by Hydrovern Heroes The Hydrovern HeroesSummary:
Launching new automobile parts have become easier with the help of plastic
rapid prototyping technology that involves 3D designing.
Plastic rapid
prototyping is the latest technology available for manufacturing
automobile parts. Now you can check details of a part before it is sent for
mass production. And it has been made possible by the 3D technology that
involves computer operated machines and tools.
Let’s discuss making of
an automobile part
You want to launch a new part that is both affordable
and durable. You are certain that the part you want to make has a high demand
and that you can easily make a good profit, if everything goes well. It is
where the latest 3D technology can make a difference to your approach. Instead
of following the traditional test and try method, you can go for the latest
technology.
The first step is to create a unique 3D design of
the part. The design will show everything including size, dimensions, and
weight of the part. You can see how the part will look when finished. The
advantage of 3D technology is that you can check and correct errors at the
designing level. Finally, the design can be sent for fast injection moulding.
The second step is to get the prototype that you
can take to your investors, partners, associates, and the customers. Also, you
can rest assured that the prototype will be approved by all the stakeholders.
It is so because the prototype will be designed according to the 3D design you
have created and approved. It will be a flawless prototype that will get
one-time approval.
The third step is to send the prototype for mass
production. With plastic rapid
prototyping technology, the mass production of the part could be started
soon after it is approved. The computer operated tools will cut plastic in the
right size and produce the parts in an error-free and hassle-free way. You will
find little need for quality control because the technology includes quality
control.
The biggest advantage of 3D technology prototyping
is that it saves money in the long run. If you go through the traditional way
of manufacturing parts, you will find that raw material is wasted in producing
a prototype. It is so because the samples aren’t approved. The stakeholders
keep indicating at flaws that require correction.
