Four steps from Prototype to mass production: product design, make a prototype, small batch testing, mass production.


Before doing the prototype, the designer needs to first position the market and select the appropriate product for the design. The designer will generally design drawings in various formats, CAD, PDF, Stl, STP, 3dmax and other formats; after the drawings are ready, looking for a factory to make a prototype, and the prototype proofing involved the following processes.

Programming:
Programmer analyzes the 3D drawing and writes a suitable computer program.
CNC machining:
The plastic, hardware and other plates are processed by CNC machines and become rough machining models.
Manual treatment:
Remove the rough machining models, then deburr and prepare for fine grinding.
Grinding treatment:
The processing personnel should see the drawings and pay attention to the grinding accuracy. Smooth the prototype as required.
Spraying:
Spray with various colors or silk screen highlights according to customer requirements.
Assembly:
Organized the prototype and check the tolerances, If all good, then well packaged and shipped out.

The designer will check the prototype when it arrived. If there is any problem, it is necessary to re-edit the drawing or re-sample. If there is no problem with the appearance and structure, they will next produce in small batches.
In the case of small batch production, the EBI generally chooses the vacuum casting mold, which cheaper and faster. Of course, many customers still choose CNC processing. The purpose of small batch production is to prepare for making mold and mass production.

If there is no problem with the small batch sample, the customer will start to evaluate the making mold's price and time, and arrange the first batch of formal product production.
From the beginning of the prototype to the mass production after the above four stages, the product can officially enter the market. Prototype proofing can effectively avoid the huge risk of customers directly making the mold.

FAULHABER MICROMO - Impressive accuracy through the latest chip technology

FAULHABER MICROMO - Impressive accuracy through the latest chip technology

With the launch of the IEP3, FAULHABER expands its product line with an incremental encoder which, thanks to the latest chip technology, achieves a very high resolution and accuracy. With a diameter of just 8 mm, the IEP3 is very lightweight and compact yet still offers a resolution of up to 10,000 lines per revolution - made possible by the latest chip technology with high interpolation. In the standard version, the resolution is freely programmable from 1 - 4,096 lines per revolution. Moreover, the chip technology that is used ensures a high positional accuracy of typically 0.3 °m as well as a high repeatability of typically 0.05 °m thanks to accuracy compensation.
