Technical question eleven, what is the difference between prototype and mass production sample?

Recently, I met some customers who have just entered the drinking bottle industry.

In the course of cooperation and communication, it is found that these customers generally do not understand the prototype and mass production sample very well, and the requirements for the two kinds of requirements are often reversed. What is the difference between prototype and mass production sample?

For plastic water cups, prototypes usually refer to products printed by 3D printers using resin materials. Such products are opaque due to the material, and the printed products are often rough and not fine due to the printing process. At the same time, 3D printing, including accessories, is often not in place. Usually the purpose of the prototype is to facilitate more accurate analysis of the product shape and structure before adjustment and use when mass production is not carried out.

Mass production samples refer to machine debugging before mass production.

Mold processing can produce samples that can be consistent with bulk goods. Such samples are no longer like prototypes. Because they have been processed by molds and processed by mechanical equipment, the product can be more consistent with the bulk product.

The appearance of the product is delicate, the effect is clear, and it can produce transparent or translucent effects according to the requirements of bulk goods, and can also color the materials according to the requirements of bulk goods to meet the requirements of bulk products.

The materials of the bulk samples are kept consistent with the bulk goods, and the products produced will undergo rigorous testing. These data will be saved and be consistent during the bulk production.

Prototype is the first sample, the cost of proofing is low, the proofing speed is fast, and it is easy to find obvious defects in the appearance and structure of the product. The production cost of large samples is high, and the degree of restoration of product design schemes is high. Through the large sample, the small problems of the product can be found more accurately and improved.
