When it comes to prototypes,you can say there are cnc rapid prototypes,sla/sls prototypes or plastics or others.Yes,there are different types at different circonstances.Do you want to know basically which protoype types are and what's the differences between them?

By processing method,prototypes can be divided into CNC rapid prototype,SLA/SLS prototypes,3d printing rapid prototypes and silicone mould prototypes.Today let’s discuss about cnc and sla/sls prototypes first ,

A. cnc rapid prototype:The processing way is cnc machining,they can be plastic ,can be metals or foam ,wood,etc.Cnc is a conventional prototype manufacturing way,there are cnc milling and cnc turning prototypes.The precision can be ensured at +/-0.1mm for key points ,and materials are in various options.

B. SLA/SLS prototypes:SLA is short for Stereo lithography Apparatus,the material used is liqiud polyurethane resin,and then fabricate layer by layer ,then the prototype produced.
SLS is short for selective laser sintering,the material is powder,usually nylon.SLA prototypes can be done with surface treatment like painting and chroming,while sls prototypes can not be .
SLA/SLS prototypes can be regarded as 3d printing prototypes range,but the precision not so good as 3d printing ones,precision of sla prototypes better than sls ones.

So to choose cnc rapid prototype or sla/sls prototype ways?No worries,EbyTon will suggest a best prototype processing techniques for you ,base on your part structure,size and your expectations,finally make out the most satisfied prototypes for you.
