Quite often large enterprises do not undertake piece or small batch production. small batch productionIn this case, it is advantageous for the customer to resort to rapid prototyping technologies, since a small order volume makes the price of the product absolutely unprofitable for both the customer and the manufacturer.
Product design and manufacturing services, as well as manufacturing of instrument housings in plastic or other materials are among the services provided by KOLORO. of KOLORO companyOur specialists are engaged both in the development of 3D model projection of the product and in the creation of its prototype.
The following rapid prototyping techniques are used to create a prototype, or simply put, to print a product on a 3D printer:
- 3D printing on a 3D printer;
- 3d milling on CNC machines;
- molding the product by casting it into silicone or other types of molds.
One-piece production of products using 3D technology
Manufacturing of the device enclosure implies preliminary construction of a three-dimensional model in a program for working with three-dimensional graphics. It is worth noting thatprofessional engineers are engaged in the process ofbuilding the device enclosure. After the 3d-modelis ready, if necessary, our specialists conduct volumetric rendering(create 2d-visualization of the volumetric 3d-model). Having a 3D model of the product, you can immediately start prototyping.
Depending on the material and properties that the object should have, the method of prototyping is chosen. In some cases, a combined approach to creating a 3D model is used. That is, separate parts of the prototype are created on separate devices , using different methods: milling on CNC machines, printing on a 3D printer or molding(casting in silicone molds, casting in metal molds, etc.).
Low-volume production of the device body
When it is necessary not only to manufacture the body of a product, but also to produce a trial series of products, mold casting technology is used. In order to produce molds for casting, it is necessary to create a prototype of the product. A silicone mold is created on its basis.
The prototyping process is highly technological and therefore requires constant supervision of a specialist with graphic and technical education. It should be noted that KOLORO has all theequipment necessary for high quality prototyping andhas experienced and qualified employees.
After creating the molds for casting, we start manufacturing the products – in our company’s production shops. KOLORO specialists control the entire casting process and, if necessary, adjust the mold, which is designed to cast a certain number of products, after which it may be slightly deformed.
In small-scale production, casting prototypes into silicone molds is optimal, but when it comes to starting mass production or further molding of products made of high-strength metal and other high-strength materials, you will need to manufacturemetal molds.
KOLORO will help you to quickly and qualitatively produce the body of the part, while respecting all the wishes of the customer. We will select the materialfor prototyping and choose the best way of prototyping. And then, in accordance with the properties of the future product, set up small-scale production – we will help you to produce a trial series of products, which is extremely important from the point of view of advertising and marketing – to improve the quality of the original product and reduce the total cost of the initial launch of the project.To contact and make arrangements with us You can contact us by e-mail: info@koloro.ua or by phone: +38-(057)-760-26-05, +38-(099)-618-87-50.
