PMMA rapid prototyping is one of prototyping techniques which often used to make some transparent products such as lenses, screens or transparent cups. PMMA commonly known as organic glass or acrylic PMMA material, which is the mainly material when doing the acrylic or transparent rapid prototyping model.
Advantages and Applications
PMMA Rapid Prototyping is suitable for demanding products such as light equipment and instrument panel of automobile industry, and the glass in the daily consumables etc, because the PMMA material is high transparency , good heat resistance, cold resistance and corrosion resistance, light transmittance.
Shortcomings
PMMA rapid prototyping also has shortcomings, the hardness of PMMA material is lower, easy to rub, people generally do not recommended PMMA material when doing high strength parts and buckle products. PC material for transparent prototype, its transparency is not as high as PMMA, but its impact strength is higher, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance are better than PMMA. For example, the car wheel hub hand plate needs to bear a lot of pressure and can be made of PC material. Therefore, when making transparent prototype, we need to choose the appropriate materials according to the requirements of customers.
Manufacturing Process
First, we will cnc machining it and then use then checking the size by our QC guy and next we will sanding it with the sand paper and final polishing it. Then a beautiful clear parts similar like car light is done!!
