How to choose prototype materials for mirror treatment process

2023-12-26

In the prototyping industry, the word "mirror surface" is often encountered. Mirror effect, as the name suggests, requires the prototype to be as transparent as a mirror. Among all the processing materials in the acrylic prototype factory, only PC and acrylic can achieve the mirror effect.

However, although the PC material is very transparent, its light transmittance can only reach more than 91%, and it will be doped with purple; acrylic hardly absorbs light in the entire wavelength range. In terms of technology, acrylic has more advantages. When the acrylic prototyping factory processes PC material, due to its hard texture, it is very laborious to polish, especially the edges, which are particularly difficult to polish. Moreover, the PC material needs to be chemically dyed for mirror treatment, and cracks are prone to occur during the process, affecting the effect. It is much easier to make mirrors with acrylic. It adopts polishing method, which causes less damage and the finished product is more beautiful. Therefore, if a customer wants to have a mirror effect, Tinheo recommends that they use acrylic material.

Tinheo Molding is a prototype custom processing manufacturer and one of the best among many. The business undertakes home appliance prototypes, robot prototypes, electronic and digital product prototypes, hardware parts processing, lamination processing, etc. Our company has a total of 35 four-axis linkage and five-axis linkage machines, which can process prototypes with a length of 2 meters. During the operation process, the company strictly implements the ISO9001 quality management system and EOS quality management system, produces in accordance with the international ROHS environmental quality standards, and is people-oriented. It has gradually established a good reputation throughout the country and established a complete after-sales service system. We look forward to your visit. Looking forward to working with you.
