Prototyping is one or more functional templates made according to the product appearance drawings or structural drawings without opening the mold. It is mainly used to check the appearance or structural rationality of the product. Mastars employs proven prototype technologies(CNC machining, Vacuum casting, 3D printing etc.), to take new concept or design and bring it to life, develop and evaluate new products quickly, economically and with less risk. With lesson learn from prototyping, we provide considered and proactive tooling design/build and mass production processing, from injection molding, die casting, CNC machining to final assembly as full one-stop solution.
It is divided into rapid prototyping and CNC prototyping.

Overview

Usually, the products that have just been developed or designed need to be made prototyping. The prototyping is the first step to verify the feasibility of the product. It is the most direct and effective way to find out the defects, deficiencies and drawbacks of the designed products, so as to improve the defects in a targeted manner, and sometimes small batches of trial production are needed to find out deficiencies and to improve them.

The designed products are generally not perfect or even unusable. If they are put into production directly, they will all be scrapped once they are defective, which will greatly waste manpower, material resources and time; while the prototyping is generally a small number of samples, the production cycle is short, and the loss of the human and material resources are less. It can quickly find out the deficiencies of product design and improve it, and provide sufficient basis for product finalization and mass production.

Classification by production method
According to the means of production, the prototyping can be divided into manual prototyping and CNC prototyping:
(1) Manual prototyping: its main workload is done by hand. Manual prototyping is divided into ABS prototyping and clay prototyping.
(2) CNC prototyping: its main workload is completed by CNC machine, and according to the different equipment used, it can be divided into 3D printed laser rapid prototyping RP prototyping and machining center (CNC) prototyping.

The advantages of RP prototyping are mainly reflected in its rapidity, but it is mainly formed by stacking technology, so RP prototyping is generally relatively rough, and there are certain requirements for the wall thickness of the product, if the wall thickness is too thin, it cannot be produced.

The advantage of CNC prototyping is that it can reflect the information expressed in drawing very accurately, and the surface quality of CNC prototyping is high, especially after the surface spraying and silk screen printing are completed, it is even more radiant than the products produced after opening the mold. Therefore, CNC prototyping has increasingly become the mainstream of prototyping manufacturing industry. 

Classification by materials used
According to the materials used in production, the prototyping can be divided into plastic prototyping, silicone prototyping, metal prototyping, etc.

The importance of prototyping
Check the design
The prototyping is not only visible, but also touchable, which can intuitively reflect the designer's creativity in the form of real objects, avoiding the drawback of "looks good when drawn but not good when made". Therefore, prototyping is essential in the process of new product development and product shape scrutiny.

Check structure design
Because the prototyping can be assembled, it can intuitively reflect the rationality of the structure and the difficulty of installation. It is convenient to find and solve problems as early as possible.

Reduce the risk of direct mold opening
Since the cost of mold manufacturing is generally high, the larger molds cost 100,000 or even several million yuan. If the unreasonable structure or other problems are found in the process of opening the mold, the loss can be imagined. Prototyping production can avoid this loss and reduce the risk of mold opening.

The product is launched ahead of schedule
Due to the advanced nature of prototyping, you can use the prototyping for product promotion before the mold is developed, and even for pre-sales and production preparations, so as to occupy the market as soon as possible.
