The primary purpose of making a prototype is to validate the development of new products, including checking the product's appearance, assembly difficulty, and structure for rationality. The prototype factory will select the appropriate processing method based on the customer's product requirements.

When making prototypes, the choice of material is crucial. Plastics or certain metals can be processed, and CNC machining can yield high precision. However, for small sizes and complex structures, it's recommended to use 3D printing methods. For small batch production, replicating silicone molds may be necessary. Such silicone molds primarily offer the advantages of quicker production time and lower costs.

The flexible application of processing methods in making prototypes can achieve a complementary effect, resulting in even more pronounced advantages.
