From Idea to Product
Someday may come to your mind the idea:
Could one of the better managed in a different technical solutions or whether a product design to be a little different?
Why will ice scraps all the same, flat, triangular ...?
Reason may be practice dictated by the shape of. However, the product could brainstorm a little with a new design, especially when thedesign using modern methods is a bit easier.
The next slide looks a bit like the steps to which according the technical sense to go ahead. In this example, is a thermoplastic product. However, the productcould be anything material and contains a number of parts.
Can I develop my ideas to ready product?

3D Printing methods:
# SLA Stereolithography
# Sintering SLS, EOS
# Fused Deposition Modelling, FDM Stratasys
# LOM Laminated object manufacturing
# Three dimensional plotting, Sanders
# Solid Ground Curing,Cubital
# 3D Printing, wax machines
Very important is to determine the plastic part of the correct injection point at this stage.
Analysis of the fulfillment of the mold can also be a need for more complex part
The below mold and plastic part CAD modeling has been used in Alibre Design Expert 3D-CAD software.
Mold and plastic part (Scraper) are associative. This means that changes are part of the plastic
mold is updated automatically. This is an important issue for ensuring quality and low cost.
Due to cost reasons, almost all changes in the product structure should be done before the mold manufacture,
so the return of the product design stage is often important to.
The final product could look like this
