family and i just played a game that took about thirty minutes.

here's the deal: my dad and i really want to get into snorkeling. my dad used to have a scuba license way back in the day but he hasn't been able to go scuba-ing since we moved to the states, which at this point is a very long time ago. he misses scuba-ing. but my mom would rather kill me than let me attempt to get a scuba license, and would rather kill him than allow him to regain his scuba license, because she's afraid that we will both drown, so that whole world is completely off limits to us (for now.) so we're going to snorkel instead. fun. soft. easy. a kit on amazon costs $35 a pop, which is pretty cheap comparatively. it's a first-time hobby, so we don't need anything fancy, and the kit comes with two flippers (duck feet), one snorkel tube, and one mask each.

my dad buys two, one for me and one for him. one size small (for me) because i have small feet, one size medium (for him) because he is a grown man.

my dad, for whatever reason, misclicks and orders two orders of the exact same thing.

four packages arrive at our house a few days later. he's aware that he needs to return two of these packages because we don't need four snorkel gears.

now, the game begins: how do you ensure that you open one small and one medium, without having to unnecessarily open an extra bag?

my dad takes a chance, and opens one at random: a small, for me, leaving three packages behind. 66.6% chance of getting a medium when he opens another package, a 33.3% of getting another small. but this family has a curse. 33.3% of getting something wrong always indicates that he has a 100% chance of getting it wrong. it's just always like this. (i unfortunately used all of our luck at a hotel resort bingo in the summer 2009, where i proceeded to win every single bingo game that night for four hours straight. i was then banned from participating in that hotel's bingo night ever again, as they were convinced— somehow, someway— that an 11 year old Child was cheating. at bingo.)

this is our predicament.

three giant plastic bags line our dining table. in one corner, a seniored more-salt-than-pepper-haired man, chewing on a cuticle (bad habit of his), looking over his glasses, attempting to figure out which one to open. in the other corner, me, tapping my nails on the wooden table (bad habit of mine, always stimming, annoying everyone around me with how much noise i make), trying to decipher the hieroglyphics both usps and amazon stamp across the surface of each package.

the game, of course, is not this serious; amazon won't kill us if we try to return a package that we've resealed. but it's a game. and my dad likes probability. he's always said he'd love to blackjack and poker if it wasn't so upsetting that you actually have to lose money in the process. i like probability, too, and why not make something as mundane as easy into something so difficult?

my dad and i, on opposite corners of the dining table.

"shouldn't each package have a transit ID?" i ask. "look at the order on amazon and we can match the number to the serial code."

an idea. a good one. my dad is rushing for his phone. it's under my mother's account on amazon; she pulls up the receipt. a number. a path. we grab the bags and search for this tracking number. there are no less than four individual serial codes on each tag, all in an attempt to dissuade us.

none of them match any of the tracking IDs. i'm grateful, even for a moment, to not be a bar-scanner machine at the amazon facility. i would be fired immediately.

my mom looks a little unimpressed with our lack of motion. it's been thirteen minutes. she's given up on trying to convince us to just open it, because she's seen the sparkle of good fun shining in our eyes. "theoretically, your dad's kit should be heavier because his flippers should be a size bigger so there's more plastic. we should go get the bathroom scale."

"it would, yeah. but the difference wouldn't be in kilograms," my dad tells her. "it would be grams. the bathroom scale isn't precise enough."

"the kitchen scale is in grams," i offer.

"the kitchen scale is too small for this," he counters. "we can't weigh these."

so, how do we win?

the solution, in theory, is simple: ask someone who wasn't born into the family name to open the second bag, meaning that the family curse isn't used to open it.

we both turn to my mom. pleading. asking for help. a family curse is one you can't break just because it's inconvenient, after all.

my mom looks. the packages are identical. she stares. the bags do not move, and offer no solace. she picks up the unwrapped kit that we already know is mine, and tests the weight in her hands. she moves to the next, scrutinizing, in the same way i've always seen her calculate something imaginary to me while she weighs her options on potatoes and cherry-tomatoes at the grocery store.

then, she settles: "this one weighs more."

we scramble to tear the plastic off, a pack of wolves descending on prey, something akin to the fervor of a delicious black-friday sale picked apart for scraps. the plastic bag is ripped, out the kit goes, and we search the surface for the size number on the front of the nylon mesh that incases the flippers, horrified for a brief moment that we might be wrong. our fingers trace the surface, fingertips against the plastic cover as if searching for braille.

medium, the bag states. bold letters, made tiny along the surface, but clear enough to read.

my mom has gotten it right.

all is right in the world. my father and i can sleep easy. it is time for rest. and to return the other two back to amazon and make sure my dad doesn't miss-click again. the family curse still stays, but we have mitigated around it for now.

From Flab to Fabulous - Modern Furniture is here to Woo You

Modern Furniture is synonymous with simple and functional furniture, furniture with neat and clean lines, minus the unnecessary ornamentation and hullabaloo. The trend of adopting Modern Furniture started and came at a time, when the modernist click here to learn more movement revolutionized all aspects of art, architecture and design and paved way for modern attire in everything.

Blowing the Winds of Change

There have been many influences that spurred the modernization movement. In fact, it had come about with an evolution as well as revolution. One major revolution came about when a German architect cast away the old classical style of architecture that was prevalent during that time of the 19th century and sent shockwaves around. The product was an example of genuine functionality minus the show-off. It was like a clean shaven person clad in a plain T-shirt and jeans shouting his importance in a society of bearded, bejewelled and robed kings. The new product that was termed as Modern demonstrated that ‘form follows function’ and this appealed the masses also as it became cost effective when there is no extra unnecessary ornamentation.

The trend picked up fast though with some criticism and subsequently, has influenced the fields of art and design also. Thus, Furniture has become more refined and defined and now takes the form of Modern Furniture. If an element on a piece of furniture has a purpose, it is there, if not, it is removed. Exotic patterns, motifs and carvings have replaced by purely functional elements. It reflects the idea “live for need, not for greed” and thus comes into existence Modern Home Furniture.  This Modern Furniture is faster to manufacture, affordable and above all, functional.

New Materials Replacing the Old

With the industrial revolution, the traditional material have been shun and now replaced with durable, sturdy and cost-effective materials. •    Handmade wooden furniture and hand woven fabrics have been replaced by materials like iron, steel and glass. •    Plywood is the new wood. Solid heavy wood is replaced by plywood.

With machines able to produce products at a cheaper cost and lesser time as compared to hand made products the Modern Furniture and especially the   Modern Home Furniture has come with the added zing.

Benefits of new materials

•    light-weight •    easy to handle •    easy to accommodate in less space

The use of new material has made furniture light weight and portable. The major attraction of Modern Furniture is that it is totally different from its ancestors in terms of materials, technology and design. With plastics and metal introduced in the furniture industry, today there are thousands of choices available and it is often confusing and mystifying to choose one. Today, we even have furniture from paper, cardboard and concrete.

Global Scenario

Earlier each country had its own movements in art, architecture and design, but due to globalization, the scenario is quite a mixture of global philosophies and local manufacturing. With growing populace and space available inversely proportional to each other, the Modern Furniture sees itself as the preferred furniture as it brings along with it its appealing merits. While choosing the home furniture, a customer would want Modern Home Furniture but still prefer to customize it according to his home and appealing to his tastes. His tastes are more or less an eclectic mix of past traditions, present materials, changing cultures and above all, the weight in his pockets! And Modern furniture does the trick. Elegant, affordable, less cumbersome in space, easy to handle and maintain, customisable- these are just a few synonyms that can be associated with Modern Home Furniture making a person’s home decor fruitful and fulfilling his dream of a perfect home!

📍日本

OK,, SO STORYTIME (aka,, 2nd hand anime goods i found today ^^).

i was going to nipponbashi to find the snow miku nendoroid (now knowing the cost is DEADLY), but i looked inside almost eVERY SINGLE SHOP THERE, AND NONE OF THEM HAD HER. EVEN ANIMATE, THE BIGGEST ANIME BRANCH IN JAPAN (which was what my friend told me :p).

but i looked around surugaya shop on ota road, and found HER:

AN ICHIKA NAKANO FIGURE SOLD AT 2.4K YEN WEARING THE PRETTIEST, PASTEL-EST KIMONO E V E R. i literally couldn't believe that she was being sold for THAT price. i saw an itsuki nakano figure wearing the same themed outfit, but ichika just looked cuter in my opinion (plus, itsuki was being sold for 3.1k yen, so no thank you :p).

i don't plan on displaying ichika because one, i don't have anywhere to put her (like a glass case or shelf). and two, i prefer playing with her like little girls do with their barbie dolls. i'm going to make her cups of fake tea, set up a doll house, and buy a pink lambo. HAH !!! i will definitely be careful doing so, though.

next up, i bought:

A YOTSUBA NAKANO PLUSH. (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

there was actually a miku nakano one too right next to her, but yotsuba's cheerful expression won me over (and the fact that i generally just like her hair color more LOL).

m'gonna bring her around the airport and give her some airplane food so that she's well fed. :3

can't forget the smallest plush sold at a severely uNREASONABLE price:

A BABY KITASHIN KEYCHAIN !!!!

i already dangled him onto my bag, and he's going to smile at everyone in japan all the way back to my home country.

extra stuff that i wanna mention:

- the surugaya shop also sold some adorable toge inumaki stuff that i wanted to take home, but i think the three things above are more than enough. ^^

- i was going to get my brother a zoro plush since zoro is one of his favorite all-time characters, but it cost 2K YEN. brother, i love you, i just don't have enough for you. 😞

- like zoro, his other favorite characters are quite popular (ex. sasuke, vegeta, unohana), so their merchandise were pricey too. i asked our father if any character from "demon slayer" (his favorite anime) reminded him of my brother, and he said "the boar" (translation: inosuke). so i laughed while trying to find some inosuke merch. eventually, i found a little plush of him in makeup, and i was so ready to buy it because i had a feeling my brother would've laughed at seeing the thing, but the price was at a wHOPPING 1.5K YEN.

- i got a few gacha capsules for myself since my family and i spotted this little gacha machine pop-up in our train station, and i spent 800 yen on this beauty:

a plastic wedding nino nakano figure !!!! y'know, at first i was a bit irritated with the fact that when i opened the capsule, only the upper half of her torso was there, so i thought that i had to spend another 800 yen for her dress. then i realized her dress was actually the gacha capsule itself, which was really cool and convenient :D!!

bro, i had a BALL going around to shop (thank you dearly, oh mother and father, for the allowance which i wisely spent /hj) because the last time i went to japan, i only got sanrio plushies and not actual anime stuff. fueee. ( ´△｀) . . .

One particular problem keeps getting bounced from IT. It's user Mick and he is either the laziest or most inept person on the planet. Toner run out? Ring IT and ask them to change it. IT says its a Repro issue because Repro has the toners? Call Repro and ask them to come down and change it. Naturally they refuse, as though they supply the toners staff have previously complained they've mucked up their settings when they change them. it's their bed, they can lie in it. Mick doesn't like this and insists IT comes out.

We let this go on for a while since Mick's colleagues usually sort the problem. I'm alone in my office on Fridays. Yes, me the dorkubus is left alone for a day a week. My day started to be ruined when our paper delivery failed to arrive. We run out of paper to give to staff and i put a note up. I leave for lunch, and lock my office. Relevant aside, if we have a lot of printing for the same person, I'll put it in a paper box, which is clearly marked with the staff members name and department.

I return to find two things, a paper box missing (no biggie, I guess someone picked it up using next door's spare key), and an urgent message from IT "You gotta see this! It's a you problem, bye." (paraphrased). The reference was Mick's department office.

This poor printer. It had red lights all over it, and was making a funny noise. I open it up, noting the lack of any error numbers, just "call service rep". This is not normal. I open the toner bay. I find a toner for a completely different printer stuck in there and they are not interchangeable. it's made a mess of the whole bay, but somehow it is dispensing toner. I clean up what I can, make a note of the shattered plastic, and prepare to call the engineers for a conversation that will cost me dignity, but I knew there must be more seeing as it had been reported to IT that it was printing two jobs on one page, which us downright weird. I open the scanner unit, to find a massive gouge taken out of the glass plate. unsure of how that happened I log that too. That doesn't solve the two sets issue.

Unless, a horrible thought occurred, they weren't using new paper. No I thought, they can't be that stupid. I open up the paper cassette and what I find was worse than I could have imagined. One, the rollers are not the ones they should be. evidently, the accountants have reached a level of confidence where they are now replacing parts themselves. which would be great, if it was the right brand, or even size. Two, they are using paper which they've nicked from my office. Paper that has already been printed. Surely they must have noticed? Evidently not. Their stolen paper worked fine, up until they reached the stapled sheets. Which has gummed the machine right up. I give up after twenty minutes of trying to pick stapled paper out of the inner workings, as they'd made it surprisingly far.

I replace the rollers, and the "waste toner unit" a juryrigged water bottle, so they're two less things for the engineer to cry about. My final job is to gather the serial code and fault code(s) for the engineer. Serial code was easy enough, but fault code, good lord did the printer have a sense of humour. Instead of displaying an error code, it displayed the name of the last user to send a job, and therefore, its murderer. Mick the Accountant.

Today we had the reckoning. Engineer was here for five hours. We were honest, told him the full story. He was honest, told us we were screwed. He did what he could, then arranged for a pickup for Frankenprinter. The accountants have voided the lease and it'll cost about five grand to get a new printer. Guess we will respond to change toner jobs from now on.

19 Dec 2022: What if shops didn’t sell things?

[Image: a collage of Kuka/Ruscha/Burtynsky]

Hail and farewell

This is the last Co-op Digital newsletter. It has had an excellent and enjoyable run, thank you to everyone who helped get it going with decisions, everyone who kept it going with content, and everyone who read it. We’ve been wrapping up with 3 questions. Previously: more radical membership and more than a shop? 

Thank you all for reading and sending ideas. The Co-op story continues on the magnificent Co-op Digital blog. Rod will still be writing about climate change and carbon transformation at Holdfast and about money at Checksies. See you there?

What if shops didn’t sell things?

Supermarkets and many other types of retail businesses are often high volume/tight margin machines, looking to increase volume and find small gains and complementary products and services with higher margins. Will this always be the case? 

As climate change bites into the world, making it less predictable, will the cost and availability of materials change the dynamic for retail? Do supply chains fracture? Will managing the entire lifecycle of products and packaging add cost that makes retail unviable, or will it unlock new business? Can shopping fit into circular economies if recycling and reuse becomes central? What if shops bought things from you, instead of selling them to you?

2040

Aya looks the length of the warehouse. There’s a haze in the distance where the unfactory starts and above the superstructure is barely visible behind the ambient dayglow. A city inside a building.

She pulls the door shut on her housing unit and walks to the bus stop. There’s only a couple of minutes to wait before a driverless bus pulls up. These carbon grey boxes crawl the building, patiently looping between the different work, housing and leisure zones.

Aya gets on the bus and sits. Her glasses immediately pop up an interactive about hitting this month’s KPIs. With a glance she flicks it away, and looks the other way to access shopping. A carousel of plaid shirts flickering across the field of view, partly obscuring the view out of the window of apartment blocks, terraced 2-up 2-downs, community centres, and behind her in the distance parkland and the executive mcmansions. Aya considers buying a shirt that says 2005 and has all the confidence of that era. The checkout dances and says: “Hey you know you could put that 229.50 into something more long term? Say Pension to put it to work for you.” Aya sighs, shuts her eyes and whispers “Cancel”, the UI an afterimage in reversed colours.

Aya steps off the bus at the warehousing zone and passes through two layers of perimeter security: ID badge and then a tongue print which performs ID verification and a recreational drugs test. Now she is matter-side. She steps through the air wall into a cavernous space: kilometres of racking, ducting, assembly areas, disassembly areas, recycling, storage, cabling, transport, uncountable shelves of racking and gigantic bays of raw material.

10 years ago, at peak shopping, this building was Amazon’s largest fulfilment centre, the entire building performing inventory, pick and pack - all of it heading into cardboard boxes, out the loading bays and to everyone’s home via the Amazon-only lanes on the motorways. 

Since then, the building has grown and evolved in response to 15 years of carbon budgets and circular economy targets. The shadow of the smile logo is still faintly visible on the wall. The work is now two-way: they’re doing as much inbound for recycling as they do outbound retail: the increasing value of material feedstocks made disassembly and recycling higher margin businesses. Across the way, building crews are pulling out the pick and pack racking, and hauling in more recyc stations.

Conveyor belts of toys, consumer goods, electronics, plastic items, everything. Some things are automatically sorted, separated by size or material type into smaller flows on smaller conveyors, a river delta. The metal goes off along a conveyor to be remelted in a distant area. The plastic is ripped apart into uncountable white-edged grains of feed stock. 

Further away, and behind more layers of security, are the goop vats where the synthetic bio voodoo happens. There’s a smell of ammonia and long chain polymers everywhere, which the air ducting cannot ever remove entirely.

Here though, the river belt meanders through rows of stations, where human-robot pairs work next to each other, pulling objects off the main belt and moving them to several smaller tributary belts for onward sorting.

Aya walks up to the only unstaffed station. A fixed robot is at the wide conveyor belt. Its body is a 7-axis spine of rotatable stainless steel segments that look more like muscles than components. Its arm ends in an array of cameras, lidar sensors and rubber tipped and suction manipulators. Around the robot is a 2 metre no-go zone hashed out in hazard orange. It has placed several objects in that space around its base. A Casio watch. A christmas tree toy. A clown painting on black velvet. Lego pieces.

The supervisor approaches and shrugs at Aya: “You make it work, if you can. I in’t going near it though…” Aya swipes her badge into the work station. The robot’s arm monitors everything that passes on the belt under it, occasionally twitching as if indecisive. But it is not moving and not sorting items.

Aya watches the belt for a while and reaches out to pick up an old lunch box in blue and red plastic. She shows it to the robot, and then with great care Aya places it on the floor, inside the no-go zone, and steps back. The robot’s arm bends, the array inspecting the lunchbox for several seconds. 

Then it straightens, moves back over the belt, and starts grabbing objects and sorting them.

How to choose laser marking machine?

What is the factor affecting the price of the laser marking machine?

Laser brand and strength

As one of the core accessories, the selection of laser marking machine is definitely an important factor affecting the price of laser marker. Different brands have different laser marking machine prices. Big brand laser marking machine have quality, stable operation, long life, so the price will be high. As a result, the laser marking machine is also very high.

In addition, the power of the fiber laser also affects the laser marking machine price. The larger the power, the higher the price of the fiber laser marking machine.

The other part

The cost of other parts of the laser marking machine also affects the overall laser marking machine. Import spare parts or large brands, high-quality spare parts will result in an additional cost laser mark price.

For example, the selection of the lens will affect the tag area. Generally, the focal length of the lens is 160 mm, and the label area is 110 × 110 mm. However, if you choose a lens with a larger focus, it will result in a larger effective focus range and a larger marker area. Accordingly, the laser marking machine price will be high.

After-sales service

In general, the more comprehensive after-sales service, the higher the price of laser marking machine. The quality of after-sales service is related to customer satisfaction, and good after-sales service makes customers more assured.

Laser marking machine recommended

The iGOLDEN laser marking machine system allows the user to mark or engrave various materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. These markers include, but are not limited to, numbers, letters, words, barcodes, QR, graphics, and other modes.

Fiber laser marking machine

The most popular fiber laser marking machine is ideal for most metals and non-metallic markers, engraving, high precision, high speed, flexible, double functional foot support.

UV laser marking machine

The UV laser marking machine is designed for fine marks, fine cuts and engraving, as well as microprocessing of special materials. It has a high cost. It is particularly suitable for high-speed segmentation, micropores, glass materials, and glass materials, silicon wafers for complex pattern cutting, and the like.

Flying laser marking machine

Flying online carbon dioxide laser marking is designed for assembly line markers, uses with the assembly line workbench to achieve bulk operation, saving labor costs, and improving working efficiency.

How to choose a suitable laser marking machine

Make your handling demand and the type of laser marking machine you need.

First, you need to determine the type of laser marker that you need according to your specific processing needs.

This step requires you to figure out your processing requirements, such as the type and size of the material, depth, main purpose, etc. It can help you determine the type, laser power and other specifications of the required laser marking machine.

If you are mainly marked in non-metallic materials such as glass, acrylic acid, fabric, leather, you can choose a CO2 laser marking machine. The laser marking machine sculpture is mainly a laser marking machine for metal. Its processing materials include a variety of common metals and rare metals.

When you need more than metal (≥1.5mm), you may need a fiber laser engraving machine with greater power.

If your factory needs to mark operation in the production line, the flight laser marking machine is your ideal choice. It can be combined with other production processes to greatly improve work efficiency.

Factors affecting the quality of laser marking machine

Sometimes, the label made of laser marking machine is poor, such as blur, white or dull. At this point, you should stop the laser mark and look for these bad results. After you solve the problem, you can continue the tag process. So what can affect the quality of the laser mark?

Energy and mode of laser beam

This is a previous factor in all types of laser processing work. Selecting a suitable laser energy and laser beam mode is the premise of laser markers.

Laser beam focused performance

The laser energy is highly concentrated because the focus of the laser beam is tiny. Without a good focus, you can’t have an ideal laser spot. As a result, the laser marking machine cannot reach a good laser mark effect.

Workbench mechanical accuracy

The workbench is a mechanical part that drives the laser beam movement. Its precision directly affects the accuracy of the laser mark.

Optical system

The optical system plays an important function in laser beam transmission. The wellness of the system ensures smooth, stable and excellent laser beam transmission.

Moving speed of laser beam

The laser beam moves during the interaction between laser and substances. It will affect the speed of the laser mark.

Material characteristics

Different materials are different from the laser beam. When using a fiber laser marking machine, appropriate parameters should be selected depending on the type of material.

Auxiliary equipment working conditions

Good auxiliary equipment can not only extend the service life of hardware, but also improve the effect of laser markers.

How to maintain laser marking machine

Although the laser marking machine adopts advanced technology, there is no frequent maintenance, still requires daily cleaning and nursing.

1. Retain the room of the laser marking machine, clean and tidy.

2. When the laser marking machine does not work, turn off the power and turn off the computer. Cover the on-site lens cover to prevent dust pollution optical lens.

3. When the laser marking machine is working, the circuit is in a high pressure state. Therefore, do not wear machines when trying to avoid electric shock.

4. Turn the power immediately in any emergency or failure.

5. In the air, it is absorbed on the long-term use of the focus lens on the lower surface of the focus lens. It will affect the mark effect. Therefore, the focusing lens must be done in a regular basis.

6. In the case of cleaning the lens, the proportion of mixed liquid and diethyl ether can be used with absolute ethanol can be used in 3: 1. Immerse cotton swabs or lenses into the mixed liquid and gently clean the lower surface of the focus lens.

7. Do not move the fiber laser marker when running because it is afraid to affect the mark accuracy.

8. Do not cover or put other independent items on the fiber laser engraver to avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the machine.

9. Check the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the metal laser marking machine.

10. Frequency Check if the fiber laser engraving machine has abnormal vibration or noise.

Conclusion

In many years, the laser marking machine has become a mature CNC laser machine. The mainstream laser marker on the market includes CO2 laser marking machines, fiber laser marking machines and UV laser marking machines.

Laser markers have a wide range of applications such as food, medicines, leather, tobacco, wood products, electronics, etc. Although the fiber laser marker has a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency, a variety of metal materials are suitable. For example, electronic separation elements, automotive parts, integrated circuits, hardware, tools, kitchen supplies, tools, accessories, precision instruments, glasses, clocks, PVC pipes, etc. are particularly useful for marking IC chips, computer accessories, etc. Complex products, fiber laser engraving The optimal choice. For example, manufacturing date, QR code, tracking code, etc.

Laser marking machine, especially portable laser marking machine, very popular with metalworking studios. Compact size and high automation design make it easy to operate. The IGOLDEN laser marking machine has good quality, long service life, high precision, can be used as your metal marker assistant.

What is Bead Blast Finish?

Bead blasting is a surface treatment process that uses small, round particles (or "beads") to gently wear away the top layer of a material. The beads are typically made of glass, plastic, or metal, and they are blasted at the material's surface using high pressure. This results in a -matte finish, that is smooth to the touch, free from shiny spots or uneven textures.

In rapid prototyping, bead blasting is usually applied after parts are machined or 3D-printed to improve their appearance and feel.

Key Benefits of Bead Blast Finish

1. Smooth, Matte Surface: The main appeal of bead blasting is the sleek, non-reflective finish it provides. This can make parts look more professional and less rough compared to raw, untreated surfaces.

2. Removes Imperfections: Prototyped parts may have light imperfections or tool marks. Bead blasting helps to smooth out these blemishes, creating a more uniform surface.

3. Improves Grip: Bead blasting can also enhance the texture, providing a slight grip which is useful for prototypes of products that will be handled frequently.

4. Wide Material Compatibility: This finish can be applied to a variety of materials commonly used in prototyping, including metals like aluminum and steel, as well as plastics.

How is Bead Blasting Used in Rapid Prototyping?

After a prototype is made, whether by CNC machining, 3D printing, or injection molding, the surface may not always meet aesthetic or functional requirements. That’s where bead blasting comes in. Here's a simple breakdown of the process:

1. Preparation: The part is cleaned and prepared for blasting. Any delicate or critical areas may be masked off to prevent unnecessary wear.

2. Blasting: Beads are shot at the part’s surface at high pressure. The size and type of beads, as well as the pressure used, can be adjusted based on the material and desired outcome.

3. Post-Blast Finishing: Once blasting is done, the part is cleaned to remove any remaining media. Depending on the part’s purpose, additional finishes like anodizing or painting may be applied afterward.

In rapid prototyping, the bead blast finish is a valuable tool for creating smooth, attractive parts quickly and affordably. It’s a versatile method that works on various materials and can transform rough prototypes into presentation-ready products. Whether you’re working with metals or plastics, bead blasting is a finishing technique worth considering for your next prototype.
