Subject, Consideration ; Tool Life, Tooling used for prototype molding applications is generally made of softer materials and thus will wear out sooner than molds made of tougher material. ; Mold Texturing & Polishing, Texturing and polishing of prototype molds can be performed; however, the effect is likely to wear out sooner due to the softer tooling used and may not justify the increased cost. Typically we recommend B to D SPI finishes for prototype molds. ; Gating Methods, Gates may be constrained to edge, direct & fan techniques. Gating that requires high shear or hot runners is better suited for Bridge or Production tooling. ; Mold Classes, Class 105 & 104 molds are the most suitable for prototyping molding runs and are typically made of Aluminum or Mild Steel. Projects requiring class 103,102 or 101 molds may be better suited for other tiers of production and be made of higher tier materials. ; Material Selection, All injection molding materials we offer are available for prototype mold applications. That said, abrasive materials such as glass-filled ones may result in increased wear on a prototype tool's life. ; Tool Origin, Xometry offers both domestic (USA) and international molding options. US-based prototyping molding is typically the quickest, while international prototype tooling will be the most economical at the expense of a few extra days.
핼러윈 데이가 코앞으로 다가왔습니다. 코로나19만 아니었어도 이태원 거리에는 온갖 분장을 한 사람들로 거리가 빈틈 없이 찼을 겁니다. 귀신과 유령들 사이사이로 호박 풍선, 유령 풍선들이 틈을 메웠을 장면을 생각하니 코로나19가 오지 않았던 때로 돌아가고 싶군요. 아쉽지만 귀여운 유령 풍선 사진을 보며 핼러윈 데이를 직접 즐길 마음은 눌러 삼킵시다. 오늘 <제조 길잡이...
