1、 Material selection and substrate construction
Main frame: Made of 3mm thick ABS board laser cut into shape, the cabinet is joined together by mortise and tenon structure, and the joints are filled and polished with model specific adhesive.
Transparent component: Acrylic board is hot bent to make an insulation cover, which is polished step by step with sandpaper until the light transmittance is consistent with the industrial original product.
Metallic texture: Copper wire is etched into conductive strips, and the surface is treated with aging to simulate oxidation marks; The micro aluminum tube is anodized to silver gray after cutting.
2、 Core process implementation
Precision replication:
Use industrial grade 3D scanners to obtain prototype data, and use CNC engraving machines to reduce the internal structure in a 1:10 scale
The gear linkage mechanism adopts brass powder sintering technology to ensure that the operating rod can simulate the opening action realistically
Texture processing:
Use silicone molds to create nameplate text, fill it with epoxy resin, and then spray metal paint
The control panel adopts transfer printing technology and a UV cured protective layer to prevent fading
3、 Artistic post-processing
Multi layer coating:
Primer: Matte black epoxy primer enhances adhesion
Main color: Automotive metallic paint is sprayed three times, with a 20 minute interval between each time and low-temperature drying
Highlight: Apply enamel paint locally to enhance the three-dimensional effect
Antique techniques:
Dry scanning method highlights edge and corner wear, while oil painting thinner simulates residual oil stains
Electrostatic adsorption of copper powder to create arc burn marks
Final processing:
Spray nitro protective paint and cure at a constant temperature for 48 hours
Install magnetic acrylic dust cover with built-in LED simulated operation indicator light
4、 Key points of restoration control
Color comparison is calibrated using a colorimeter, with an error controlled within Δ E ≤ 1.5
Maintain a linear proportional relationship between the operating force of all movable components and the prototype
The internal wiring harness uses PTFE silver plated wire with a diameter precision of 0.3mm
