Aluminium rapid prototyping parts

Working Method

1. Rapid Prototyping: 

   Customer will send the primer drawings to Sunrise to make small quantity prototypings to check whether it's suitable for assemble and the function test. Normally customer need the rapid prototyping urgently,so usually we can send the samples to customer within 7 days. 

2. DFM:design for manufacture

   Before start to make the die casting tooling, we will carefully check the drawing, and per our engineers more than 10 years strong R&D capability and rich engineering experience for aluminum die casting to analyze the drawing, and will submit the perfect DFM,we also can discuss with our customer together to solve key point that don't affect the part function and cost saving suggestions.

3. Start to Make Die Casting Tooling

   When get the customer's agreements for our DFM,such as confirm the moving die and fix die,ejector pin location,slide,parting line,machining location etc.,then we will start to make the die casting tooling,and will send the die casting tooling schedule to customer,and every week our engineer will update the schedule,then send to customer and inform that we are on the schedule. If any question will delay the schedule, we will send the current conditions to customer in advance.

4. Trial Run the die casting Tooling

   When finish the die casting tooling, we will arrange to trial run it, normally the first time we will trial run 10pcs of die casting raw material,then per the processes to follow each process,then send the samples to customer to approve it. Normally the lead time is around 2 weeks.

   If the first trial run result wasn't good, we can modify the tooling in house, we have grinding,Milling,CNC,EDM machine in house, so we can quick responds to modify,then trial run again.

   And if customer would like to ECN, it's also no problem for us,we can modify the ECN in house too.

5. FAI report and PPAP files

   When we send out the samples, we will submit the FAI report and PPAP files if customer need it.

6. Mass production

   When we get customer approval, we can start to mass production immediately.

What is Prototyping?

Prototypes are experimental and incomplete designs which are cheaply and fast developed.  Prototyping, which is the process of developing prototypes, is an integral part of iterative user-centered design because it enables designers to try out their ideas with users and to gather feedback .

The main purpose of prototyping is to involve the users in testing design ideas and get their feedback in the early stage of development, thus to reduce the time and cost. It provides an efficient and effective way to refine and optimize interfaces through discussion, exploration, testing and iterative revision [2]. Early evaluation can be based on faster and cheaper prototypes before the start of a full-scale implementation. The prototypes can be changed many times until a better understanding of the user interface design has been achieved with the joint efforts of both the designers and the users. Prototyping can be divided into low-fidelity prototyping, medium-fidelity prototyping and high-fidelity prototyping.
