Unique Use of Aluminum Mould for Rapid Prototyping in China

aluminum extrusion
First Part China Limited which started with tooling manufacturing was set up by Dr. Yang in the year 2005. In about a year’s time, the company got into rapid CNC prototyping and has acquired excellence in the field since it shifted its focus to rapid precision engineering for complex prototyping jobs. In an effort to improve competency the company has combined rapid tooling, rapid prototyping and rapid precision engineering technologies in the rapid manufacturing services as a first of its kind in China.
The Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing technologies have emerged for the purpose of fast 3D product creation. This advanced technology brings about significant change in the present prototyping practices existing in the industry. The potential use of aluminum mould instead of a steel injection mold in certain scenarios is proven to be of advantage. For example, the initial tool cost is lower for aluminum mould than the alternative; aluminum mould’s suitability for low volume is of advantage, possessing a higher rate of heat dissipation makes it the more suitable option to invest in and the ease of modification and repair makes it easy to work with.
However, mould material is subjective to the kind of project requirements and specifications the clients provide and these details are to be fully outlined before moving forward with manufacturing and material choices such as moulding material.
With Rapid Prototyping as their core focus the company has turned great ideas into successful products. The small volume work that the company most commonly takes on consists of injection moulding, pressure die casting since nearly all the small volume works require rapid tooling or post machining. The services provided to the clients include CNC machining, 3D printing, plastic injection moulding, urethane casting, sheet metal and more.

Learn All about the Process of Plastic Injection Molding Used by Manufacturing Companies

Image
In the manufacturing sector, vast advancement has taken place. Different types of manufacturing techniques have been introduced using which, large-scale production can be possibly done in the least possible time. And these advanced tools and techniques are now being used by the large-scale and small-scale manufacturers in the production process.  Such an advanced technique is the Injection Molding . It is a procedure of manufacturing for creating voluminous parts. It is most commonly utilized in large scale manufacturing process, where thousands or even millions of similar parts are being made. By using this process, heated or molten material is injected into rubber or plastic materials for providing a shape to the materials. It is widely used today for manufacturing different parts and can be used in diverse kinds of materials like thermoplastics, metals, confections, elastomers, glasses, thermosetting polymers, and a lot more.  Let’s learn a bit about the pro...

Industrial Applications and Types of CNC milling

Image
A CNC milling machine refers to the machine, which is operated with the help of CNC to cut and drill the material like metal, wood and various others. While operating, this CNC milling machine uses a rotating cylinder tool which is named as a milling cutter. One of the biggest benefits of a CNC milling machine is that it has the ability to cut in different angles and move along different axes. Kinds of CNC milling machine: There are various kinds of CNC milling machines available depending on the axis. These kinds are mentioned below: 2- axis milling machine : Able to cut the holes in x-axis and z-axis. 3- axis milling machine : It can cut the holes in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis 4- axis milling machine : It is very complex. The reason behind this is that it has the ability to rotate the x-axis. 5- axis milling machine : It is also a very complex machine to work upon and is able to rotate the x-axis and y-axis. Wrap Up: You can choose any of t...

A Brief Study about CNC precision machining

Image
CNC machining is a process of machining utilized with the sector of manufacturing. It is an abbreviation for computer numerical control. Computer equipment can control a variety of machines including grinders, lathes, and mills. Numerical controls are implemented while utilizing the capabilities of computer numerical control. To make the accurate cut and control everything, a CNC machining language is used that is named as G-code that will be written to contain feed rate, velocity, speed, location, coordination, precise positioning, and various others. How does it work? A CAD drawing is necessary before the creation of G-code language that can be created in either 2D or 3D. After the creation of this language, a CNC code is developed. After this process, the operator loads the program into the computer and runs a cutting air test. Running of the test is a necessary part of the CNC machining process. Benefits: There are various benefits of CNC precision ...
