CNC or computer numerical control can be a wonderful prototyping tool for your product. But how does it work? And how do you get the plastic to come out the end perfectly round＃and now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about plastic thermoforming
For those who are not familiar with it, plastic thermoforming is the process of creating molds from your original design by heating and cooling the plastic. This allows you to create unique products that would not be possible with other methods of prototyping
Consider this: if you were making a prototype using wood or metal, you would have to design something that could be created using these materials. But with plastic, all you need is a computer and some software
The main benefit of plastic thermoforming is speed 〞 in terms of getting your product made in a short amount of time compared to traditional methods like injection molding or CNC machining. Plastic thermoplastics are also much more forgiving than their metal counterparts, which means that even if there are errors in your design, they will still look fine once it has been molded into shape.
