  • How to choose prototype plastic manufacturing materials?

Choose the Right Plastic: Select a material that matches the prototype’s intended function and closely mimics the final production material.

PLA (biodegradable, low heat resistance, ideal for eco-friendly or medical prototypes).

ABS (durable, good for functional testing).

PC (high strength, transparent applications).

PP (flexible, chemical-resistant).

Material Properties: Consider mechanical properties (strength, flexibility), thermal behavior, and environmental factors (e.g., UV resistance). For PLA, note its brittleness and low melting point (150–180°C).

Moisture Sensitivity: Hygroscopic materials like PLA require drying (e.g., 45–60°C for 2–4 hours) to prevent defects like bubbles or hydrolysis during processing.
