3D printing enters the field of electronics: maximizing corporate benefits

In recent years, 3D printing has gradually emerged in the field of electronics. Electronic appliances are essential items for people's lives, such as: air conditioners, LCD TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, stereos, vacuum cleaners, electric fans, heaters, electric kettles, coffee makers, rice cookers, juicers, blenders, microwave ovens, Oven, bread machine, shredder, mobile phone, all kinds of small appliances. In order to win the favor of consumers, these products generally pursue the fashion and performance stability of the appearance. If manufacturers want to make profits in a highly competitive market, they must constantly introduce new products that are better and better. The speed of replacement is increasing year by year. improve.

For example, small household appliances for daily use are generally biased towards changes in surface modeling. If you use computer three-dimensional drawing directly during design, you will always get twice the result. Even if the model is built, its subsequent modification is very poor. If you do the opposite, Three-dimensional modeling data is obtained by reverse engineering technology (commonly known as copy number), and then CAD design is performed using reverse design software, and then the modified design is completed. The formed 3D model data can be used for hand model production, which can greatly improve Design efficiency.

In addition, electronic products are characterized by small, thin, soft, thin-walled parts, and traditional contact measurement methods are often not applicable.

And in the product design process, the visualization of the design is very important, and is the cornerstone of design communication and design improvement. Using 3D printing technology to quickly create a physical model of design, compared to a flat 2D model or a virtual 3D model in a computer, the intuitive hand model can reflect more design details, more intuitive and reliable. It is understood that Panasonic uses a 3D printer to reduce the manufacturing time of the mold by half, and the cost is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the resin product.

3D printing technology application focus

The application of 3D scanning or 3D optical measurement technology in the field of electronic appliances is mainly in the following aspects:

1. Reverse design: The 3D scanner can quickly scan the 3D data of the measured object, allowing the designer to design according to the 3D model, and can also modify and re-innovate on the 3D model. Assembly and machining tests can also be performed in the software. Compared with the previous two-dimensional drawing design method, not only the design cycle is greatly shortened, but also the design success rate is greatly improved.

2, quality testing: the electronic and electrical industry often uses some soft, variable, complex surface and other difficult to detect parts. Through 3D scanning, the shape can be evaluated during the forming stage to generate an intuitive full-scale detection chromatogram, which can be found in time to identify design defects or manufacturing problems, as well as determine the hole size of the product and ensure the assembly accuracy of the product.

3D printing technology value:

The application of 3D printing technology in the field of electronic appliances is mainly in the following aspects:

1. Design communication and design display. In the early stage of product design, 3D printing equipment is used to quickly produce enough models for evaluation, which not only saves time but also reduces design defects.

2, assembly testing, functional testing, to achieve product function improvement, production cost reduction, better quality, market acceptance of the goal.

3, mold prototype, speed up the delivery cycle, reduce the price of personalized customization, improve the quality of product delivery, and improve production efficiency.

The benefits of the first-aid three-dimensional integrated solution to the enterprise:

1. Non-contact 3D measurement mode, very suitable for electronic and electrical customers

Measurement of non-deformation, suitable for measuring thin-walled, soft-body parts;

Has a strong image magnification function, small size measurement ability is stronger;

Fast measurement speed, greatly improving the efficiency of measurement;

The high density of the points ensures high reliability of the measurement.

2, 3D printing can help optimize the design, accelerate the time-to-market, and create value for the enterprise

3D printing is ideal for quickly making prototypes of different hand models, helping to achieve cross-department design communication, design discussions, and allowing companies to make more informed choices;

3D printing production prototype, unlike traditional mold-making or manual production models, the speed is faster, the cost is lower, the effect is realistic and intuitive, even if multiple prototypes are produced, the cost is not high;

Compared with 2D drawings, the hand model has an irreplaceable advantage. The details of the product are more clear, and the visual experience of the product is more intuitive. Each member of the design team can feel the design effect through direct contact, so that the discussion of the design shape is established. On a more realistic basis;

Designers can print out the details of the design at any time and verify the effects of the new design;

Part of the 3D printing technology can directly produce products that cannot be manufactured by traditional processes without being limited by the product design structure and shape, thus greatly releasing the designer's design potential and providing them with more design freedom;

Samples printed in 3D can be used for promotional displays, market research, trial sales, etc.

Case story

Panasonic (China) uses 3D technology to complete the R&D design verification of vacuum cleaners

1. Panasonic (China) - R & D design verification of vacuum cleaners, reflecting design details in the shortest time, saving time and cost costs by more than 50%

Customer's needs: Originally, the design plan was sent to Japan to complete the design verification. The time cost and the cost are very high. The Rapidise, which can find the same service level in mainland China, can realize the design verification of the new product.

The solution provided by Rapidise: Utilizing the rapid mold-based VCM vacuum injection technology, the quality of the finished product is comparable to that of the Japanese counterpart, and the cost and time cost are significantly reduced, meeting the various needs of customers.

Service and delivery time: SLA + VCM, delivery time 2 days.

Jiuyang Electric Appliances Co., Ltd.

Jiuyang Electric Appliances - small batch trial production of small household appliances, the overall cost savings is over 30%

Customer's needs: Small-scale trial production of small kitchen appliances to meet design verification and test sales; customers provide prototypes of molds themselves.

The first three-dimensional solution: VCM vacuum injection technology based on rapid mold, not only cost and time cost, but also the use of integrated molding, no splicing complex molding process, can easily complete the production of fine parts The finished product is more beautiful.
