First, according to the production method, the hand plate model is divided into CNC hand plate and manual hand plate:

1, CNC hand plate: its main workload is completed by CNC machine tools, and according to the different equipment used, can be divided into laser Rapid Prototyping (RP, Rapid Prototyping) hand plate and machining center (CNC) hand plate.

2, manual hand plate: its main work is completed by hand.

3, RP hand plate: mainly produced by laser rapid prototyping technology. DB: CNC hand plate: mainly with processing center production of hand plate.

RP hand plate compared with CNC hand plate each has its own advantages:

The advantages of RP hand plate are mainly manifested in its rapidity, but it is mainly formed by stacking technology, so the RP hand plate is generally relatively rough, and the wall thickness of the product has certain requirements, such as the wall thickness is too thin can not be produced.

The advantages of CNC hand plate model are reflected in that it can very accurately reflect the information expressed in the drawings, and CNC hand plate surface quality is high, especially after the completion of the surface spraying and screen printing, even more than the production of products after the mold. Therefore, CNC handboard processing is becoming the mainstream of handboard manufacturing industry.

Two, according to the material used

According to the materials used in the production of hand board, it can be divided into metal hand board, plastic hand board, silicone hand board:

1. Metal hand plate: Its raw materials are aluminum magnesium alloy and other metal materials, mainly some high-grade products, such as laptop computers, advanced single player, MP3 player, CD player and so on.

2, plastic hand board: the raw material for plastic, mainly some plastic products, such as TV, monitor, telephone and so on.

3, silicone hand board: its raw materials for silicone, mainly display product design shape of the hand board, such as cars, mobile phones, toys, crafts, daily necessities and so on.

The above is the classification of the hand plate model, the hand plate is not only visible, but also can be touched, he can be very intuitive in the form of the designer's creativity to reflect, to avoid the "drawing out good and do not look good" disadvantages. Therefore, hand plate production in the new product development, product shape deliberation process is essential. The field of application is very wide, electronic products, toys, animation, medical beauty, architectural display and so on.
