Guide to The Factors Determining Quality of a Working Prototype
Quality control is an important aspect of any working prototype. Recently there has been an increase in the use of mechanization and automation in the industry. However, problems often come from the poor direction of certain parts during these operations. Features such as performance, raw material features, and testing methods affect working prototype quality.
Here Are The Major Factors Affecting The Quality of A Working Prototype.
-
Machine
The machining system involves a workpiece, cutter, and jig. What determines the quality of a working prototype is the machine accuracy. It affects the number of errors the system could manifest. A machine with poor accuracy causes part damage. It also leaves gaps when the assembly of the parts begins. Hence, the overall effect is a faulty working prototype that will not function properly.
Therefore, at Creatingway, we make sure to select the right machining limits. Such as turning angle and cutting amount. To keep accuracy, the machines must be properly maintained. Also, it ensures a longer working life for the machines. Performing the first-level upkeep does the job.

Human Resources for a working prototype
Humans play an important role in operating the machining systems. Machine operators must have an advanced level of operating and programming skills. This combined with the use of the computers ensures maximum use of the machines. Furthermore, they should also be familiar with how the equipment performs. Creatingway has these aspects covered. Operators with little expertise on this may operate wrongly. Not only does it lead to a rush in wear to machine parts but may also lead to machine damage. This leads to high costs in repair to regain the machine’s former accuracy. As a result, personnel with good quality awareness and work responsibility will produce a high-quality working prototype.
-
Type of Material
Materials used in making a working prototype are generally two. They are plastic and metal. Ability to know the features of each material is important. At Creatingway, we know materials have their unique character. This helps in selecting the right material for the process. The material should be able to maintain part consistency for quality to be the same. Otherwise, sections of the working prototype will differ in quality. Furthermore, during the hardening process of a plastic prototype, part deformation should not happen. These are some of the features we look into while checking part quality.
-
Processing Method
The choices of processing methods for a working prototype are many. What regulates which method is more suitable is the mechanical, heat, and physical properties of the workpiece. One process we commonly use is the cutting process. The cutter used in the cutting process plays a key role in determining quality. It causes changes in the part material. Selecting it should involve the type of material used to make the working prototype. However, poor selection of a cutter leads to the creation of thorny finishes on the workpiece. This increases roughness causing the poor surface quality of the part.
The second machining quality factor is the amount of lubrication and cutting the amount used in processing. Poor lubrication results lead to a build-up of heat. This causes part deformation lowering part quality.
The third factor is the processing arrangement of the machines. The system usually implements how rigid and accurate the machines will work. This also affects part quality.
Two Main Processing Preparations For Dispersion and Processing Concentration.
-
processing dispersion
This system typically uses many processes to make a single prototype. It breaks them down for many machines to process the different parts. Above all, it reduces the possibility of errors occurring resulting in lower quality.
-
processing concentration
This type compounds the machining functions into one system. Such as turning and milling into one machine process. Therefore, this will help to reduce the cost of operations.
-
Inspection of A Working Prototype
Inspection is the last step in the making of a functional prototype. It comes after we finish making a prototype. Machining inspection covers two main aspects. They are the inspection procedure and inspection method. Firstly, the inspection procedure process involves the inspection process and other related systems and regulations. Secondly, the method covers how to inspect standards. What forms the basis of inspecting the machine parts is its mechanical drawings. In conclusion, it is the use of qualified measuring tools and inspection tools.
Compared Modern and Traditional Machining Inspection
Traditional machining inspection involves the use of instruments. Such as a Vernier card, flat ruler, plug gauges, dial indicator, and a micrometer. However, modern machining inspection uses more advanced instruments. Such as a 3D measuring instrument, laser detector, and an optical collimator.
