China's rapid prototyping industry has been developing very rapidly during last 2 decades. Some good rapid prototype makers emerged from themarket and gradually is gaining world reputation.Uidea Rapid Prototype China Co., Ltd. is one of leading players.Originally, the Hongkong people andTaiwanness set upprototyping companies in China mainland, mainly inpearl river delta area, in the cities like Shenzhen, Dongguan and Guangzhou.Sincethe beginning of thiscentury, many local Chinese who usedtowork in HK or Taiwan rapid prototypingcompaniesstarted to found their own business.Compared with rapid prototyping service in other countries, rapid prototyping in China still has significantly cost advantage, expecially the CNC machinied prototypes, vacuum casted protoypes, reaction injection molding,rapidtooling, rapid injection molding and extrusion prototyping. Uidea Rapid Prototype is one of the largest professionalintegrated rapid prototyping companies in China.
About 15% of cars are made by rapid prototype machines. You can read more about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_prototyping
If one is going to create a rapid prototype it means that one will be using a technique to fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly. This is done using 3D computer design data.
Sheet metal industry in China started the rapid development in the beginning of 1980s. Now there are total more than 36,000 sheet metal fabrication workshops or companies with more than 1,900,000 people involved in sheet metal fabrication industry and the annual total sales volume is up to USD 88 billion. While,there are more than 40,000 stamping companies in China with more than 2,100,000 people involved in stamping industry with annual sales volume over than USD 81 billion. These sheet metal companies mainly locate in River Delta Region cities like Shenzhen, Dongguan and Guangzhou, Yangtse River Delta Region cities like Shanghai, Ningbo, Suzhou etc. Merely in Shenzhen, around 5000 sheet metal fabrication companies are located there. Some sheet metal companies or workshops in China use advanced equipments imported from western countries to fabricate high quality precision sheet metal parts. The sheet metal workshop of Uidea Rapid Prototype China is equipped with imported state-of-art Bystronic CNC laser cutting machine, FINNPOWER CNC Bystronic CNC press brake SAFAN press brake and Toyokoki press brake to provide worldwide clients with precision sheet metal fabrication and prototyping service at competitive pricing. Uidea Rapid Prototype has been tipped to be a leader in custom precision sheet metal fabrication in China. Compared with sheet metal fabrication parts made in developed countries, the sheet metal parts made in China are still with big cost advantage though their labor cost has been creeping up during last 3 years.
Why we keep using CNC milling process for prototype? The answer is pretty simple. that's the only way to get real material for testing. We make plastic prototype like ABS prototype, PC prototype, PC/ABS prototype PP /POM /PA/PA GF30%/PPS/PEEK prototype… Rather than that, we also provide metal prototype like, aluminum prototype, steel/brass /zinc /magnesium /titanium prototype and so on. In a word, we mill all the material which available in the market.For further Prototype information, visit 3E Rapid Prototyping official blog .

Rapid Prototyping is alive and well in China. That said, it is the last major market that has not yet had its RP revolution. This could be defined as the moment when customers buying prototypes shift as a majority away from buying CNC machined ABS models to buying models made on stereolithography or other primary Rapid Prototyping technologies. CNC machining is still substantially cheaper than prototypes from primary RP technologies. That said, the Chinese RP revolution will probably happen in the next few years. Star Prototype is tipped to be the leader of the Chinese RP Revolution.
It depends on which Chinese mould making company you choose to work with. We are lucky that we have been working with Uidea Tool Tech or uttmoud. Their quality and delivery are good and pricing is reasonable. We are pleased with their work.
