What is ABS-like material

ABS-like material is a high-performance engineering plastic for prototyping, designed to simulate the properties of standard ABS. ABS-like has excellent mechanical strength, impact resistance and heat resistance, good surface finish, and is easy to process and color. Compared with real ABS, ABS-like materials can provide faster and more economical manufacturing solutions in specific applications.

ABS-like is suitable for the production of appearance and structural prototype models, especially in the product design verification stage. It is often used in the prototyping of consumer electronics, automotive parts, home appliances and industrial equipment, helping designers and engineers to accurately test and optimize product designs before mass production.

ABS-like materials are a type of high-performance engineering plastic commonly used for prototyping. They have similar properties to standard ABS and are widely used in product design verification and testing stages. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of ABS-like materials when making prototype models and parts:

Advantages:

1、High mechanical strength: It can provide impact resistance and strength similar to standard ABS, and is suitable for manufacturing structural prototypes.

2、Good processing performance: It is easy to perform post-processing such as sanding, coloring and painting, and has excellent surface finish.

3、Strong thermal stability: It can withstand certain temperatures and is suitable for products that require certain heat resistance.

4、High production efficiency: It is suitable for rapid prototyping and can shorten the product development cycle.

Disadvantages:

1、Poor durability: Compared with standard ABS, ABS-like materials have slightly inferior long-term performance and are suitable for short-term verification.

2、Limited chemical resistance: It is not suitable for product prototypes used in harsh chemical environments.

3、Limited precision: For complex or high-precision designs, ABS-like materials may not perform as well as other high-performance materials.

4、Limited scope of application: Although suitable for rapid prototyping, it is not suitable for high-end products with certain special needs.

Top Tips for Buying Personalised Weed Grinders for Beginners

Top Tips for Buying Personalised Weed Grinders for Beginners

Choosing a weed grinder as a beginner can feel tricky. However, it can significantly enhance your experience. A good grinder provides an even herb texture, making your sessions easier and more enjoyable. Now, consider adding your own style to it with personalised weed grinders. You could incorporate a design, your name, or a humorous quote. Personalised grinders not only look fantastic; they also reflect your personality. They make using them feel unique. Whether it’s for yourself or as a gift, select one that functions well and showcases your style. Key Takeaways Pick a basic grinder if you're new. A 2-piece or twist model is easy to use. Adding personal touches makes it special. Custom designs or engravings show your style. Think about the material. Metal and ceramic last longer, but plastic is lighter and less strong. Look for helpful features. Grinders with grips or kief catchers make grinding easier. Buy…

Vacuum Casting vs Low Volume Injection Molding: Cost, Speed & Quality Compared

Vacuum Casting vs Low Volume Injection Molding: Cost, Speed & Quality Compared

Choosing between vacuum casting and low volume injection molding​ depends on your specific needs for small batch production. Vacuum casting has a lower initial cost and allows for easier design changes. On the other hand, low volume injection molding​ produces parts faster and offers a lower cost per part when producing larger quantities. The table below highlights the key differences: FeatureVacuum CastingLow Volume Injection Molding​Setup CostLow to moderateHigher upfrontPer-Unit CostHigher at scaleLower with volumeLead TimeShorterLonger setup, faster cyclesTool LifeUp to 200 partsUp to 50,000 shots Key Takeaways Vacuum casting works well for small groups and fast samples. It costs less to begin and lets you change designs easily. Low volume injection molding is good for bigger batches. It gives better accuracy, stronger pieces, and cheaper parts when you make more. Silicone molds in vacuum casting last for 20 to 50 pieces. Metal molds in injection molding can make thousands of…
