What are the main materials of hand boards?

"Handboard" is a local trade term, which is called "sample, verification, sample, equal scale model and so on!" Generally speaking, a small number of verification samples are made before the product is finalized. For products that need die production, the hand board is a functional template made first according to the product appearance drawing or structural drawing to check the rationality of appearance or structure without opening the die. Handboard is also called the first board in different places (Guangdong name). The early scaffold board was restricted by various conditions, mainly because most of its work was done by hand, which made it difficult to strictly meet the size requirements of appearance and structural drawings for a long time, so its function of checking the rationality of appearance or structure was greatly reduced. With the progress of science and technology, the rapid development of CAD and CAM technology provides better technical support for the manufacture of hand-boards, which makes the accuracy of hand-boards possible. On the other hand, with the increasingly fierce social competition, the speed of product development has increasingly become the main contradiction of competition, and the manufacturing of scaffolding can effectively improve the speed of product development. It is in this case that the hand-made board manufacturing industry stands out and develops vigorously as a relatively independent industry.

according to the materials used in the production, hand boards can be divided into plastic hand boards, silicone hand boards, metal hand boards and sludge hand boards. Plastic handboards: Its raw materials are plastic, mainly the handboards of some plastic products, such as televisions, monitors, telephones and so on. Silicone hand board: Its raw material is silica gel, which is mainly used to show the design shape of products, such as cars, mobile phones, toys, handicrafts, daily necessities and so on. Metal hand board: Its raw materials are aluminum-magnesium alloy and other metal materials, mainly hand boards of some high-end products, such as notebook computers, advanced single player, MP3 players, CD players and so on. Oil clay hand board: its raw material is oil clay, commonly known as clay sculpture hand board, which is mainly used for product appearance design and development. In the early stage of product development, the clay sculptor used oil clay as a model according to his own imagination or pictures, and then determined the appearance according to the oil clay model, but at present, the oil clay hand board has been replaced by freeform.
