Injection molds and prototype models are two different production processes and product types.
Injection mold: Injection mold is a mold used to manufacture products through the injection molding process. It is mainly used for mass production and is suitable for the production of products that require injection molding and plastic molding.
Prototype model: A prototype model is a model made by hand or auxiliary machinery. It is mainly used for sample verification, design evaluation and display. The production process of prototype models is relatively simple and suitable for small batches or single product production.
Applicable product types:
Injection mold: Injection mold is suitable for the production of various plastic products or rubber products, such as plastic shells, plastic accessories, plastic containers, etc.
Prototype model: Prototype model is suitable for various products, including plastic products, metal products, electronic products, auto parts, etc.
Production cycle and cost:
Injection mold: The production cycle of injection mold is long and requires multiple links such as design, processing, and debugging, and the cost is high.
Prototype model: The production cycle of the prototype model is short, the production process is relatively simple, and the cost is low.
In general, injection molds are suitable for mass production and customized products, and prototype models are suitable for sample verification and display. There are differences between the two in terms of production process, applicable product types, production cycle and cost.
