High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
A simple mockup or a prototype that can be easily 3D printed with no or little post-processing and assembly can cost anything between $30 and $3,000. The cost in that case would primarily depend on the size and the design complexity of the 3D printing prototype.
As said before, Polyethylenes are the most used family of plastics in the world. This type of plastic has the simplest plastic polymer chemical structure, making it very easy and very cheap to process.
1. Polyethylene terephthalate (PETE or PET): PET is the most widely produced plastic in the world. It is used predominantly as a fiber (known by the trade name “polyester”) and for bottling or packaging.
The State of Gujurat in Western India is the leading plastics processing hub and accounts for the largest number of plastics manufacturers, with over 5,000 plastics firms.
No, 3D Printing Won't Replace Injection Molding
Injection molding requires the use of a specialized machine. Injection molding machines can typically create objects faster, more efficiently, and in many cases, with better dimensional accuracy than 3D printers.
A common and safe method of reshaping ABS plastic is to use boiling water, which reduces risks involved with accidentally overheating ABS. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at which point ABS becomes soft and rubbery but will not burn.
4 Types of Prototyping
Rapid (Throwaway) prototyping.
Evolutionary prototyping.
Incremental prototyping.
Extreme prototyping.
Depending on the business and type of products, most of the manufacturers won't sell products in small quantities. So, it won't be possible for an individual consumer to buy directly from the manufacturer. In that case, you should go to the distributor (who purchases products in bulk) to buy the product you need.
