手板就是在制作模具前，先制作一套或几套样板确认结构、尺寸和外观等等，确认无误了再制作模具。以前样板在没有数控机床、没有3D打印的时候是纯手工雕刻制作的，所以简称为“手板”。也有些人称为“首板”，意思是制作样板。下面小编跟大家讲解一下手板的作用。

The hand board is to make one or several sets of templates to confirm the structure, size and appearance before making the mold, and then make the mold after confirmation. In the past, when there was no CNC machine tool and 3D printing, the template was purely hand carved, so it was referred to as "hand board". Some people also call it "first board", which means making a template for the first time. Let's talk about the function of the hand board.

1、对产品的外观和结构设计进行验证和改进创新。

1. Verify, improve and innovate the appearance and structural design of products.

在开模具前先做手板，拿到手板后对产品的外观模型存在不满意，可以进行及时调整改进，直到自己满意为止。对结构的装配存在干涉、与PCB板或其他配件干涉到，可以及时调整改进，满意后再制作模具。

Make a prototype before opening the mold. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance model of the product after getting the prototype, you can adjust and improve it in time until you are satisfied. If there is interference with the assembly of the structure, PCB board or other accessories, it can be adjusted and improved in time, and the mold can be made after satisfaction.

2、缩短产品项目的开发周期。

2. Shorten the development cycle of product projects.

每一个项目上市前都要做市场调研、融资或以及制作活动方案等等一系列工作才能批量制作上市。如果直接制作模具批量生产，上市无销量，或者资金不够甚开模具批量生产的资金都没有时，就需要做样板融资或。制作了手板拿到市场调研或融资，这样项目进行得跟顺利。

Before each project goes public, it needs to do a series of work, such as market research, financing or crowdfunding, and making activity plans, before it can be mass produced and listed. If there is no sales volume after the direct production of molds, or the funds are not enough, or even the funds for the mass production of molds are not available, we need to do model financing or crowdfunding. We have made a prototype and obtained market research or financing, so that the project can proceed smoothly.

3、快速占领市场。

3. Quickly occupy the market.

开模具制作周期长，济南手板制作2-3天就可以做好，短时间内拿到样板就可以去申请、商标注册，以及给各个经销商或客户确认样板订货。

The mold opening and manufacturing cycle is long, and the prototype can be made in 2-3 days. If you get the sample in a short time, you can apply for patent and trademark registration, and confirm the sample order to each dealer or customer.

4、订单量少的可用手板代替。

4. Those with small orders can be replaced by hand boards.

一些项目客户需求量少，数量在30—200pcs的数量，开模具成本高、周期长客户接受不了，就利用手板快速硅胶复模工艺制作，可制作多种塑胶材料产品，不仅成本省了而且制作周期也快。

Some projects have a small customer demand, ranging from 30 to 200pcs. The cost of opening the mold is high and the cycle is long. Customers can't accept it. They use the hand board rapid silica gel molding process to make a variety of plastic material products, which not only saves the cost, but also has a fast production cycle.

手板还有个称号是“快速成型”，意思是快速制作成型，缩短产品开发制作。制作手板的主要作用就介绍这么多，您有不明确的问题就来我们网站http://www.axcwv.cn咨询了解吧。

There is also a title of "rapid prototyping", which means rapid production and molding, shortening product development and production. The main functions of making hand boards are introduced so much.
