PMMA Light Guide Prototyping

This is one of many light guides we’ve made for the automotive industry. The part was made by high Speed CNC Milling from solid PMMA block, and polished by hand. We use 4 axis or 5 axis milling to achieve the twist sharp. R 0.15mm cutter and more than 20000 RPM to ensure maximum transparence of the teeth. No hand finish on these feature at all. So the parts are absolutely true to the design geometry, and without blemish. The customer was more than happy when they received the part.

Mold Making Process

Injection Molding

We have been providing durable and high quality interjection molding parts for the automotive, medical, electronics and appliance industries. More than 100 types and grates of plastics and rubber are available.

About SOMA Prototype

SOMA Prototype Manufacturing Ltd has been making rapid prototype and rapid tooling & injection molding for years.

We commit ourselves to helping customers to bring their concept to reality and promote the products to the market faster at better price.

Prototype and rapid tooling test is very important prior to production tool. From prototype making and then to prototype tool and injection molding, we better understand the project requirement and provide a good solution or design modification proposal to make the design more suitable for production. In many cases, due to the lack of manufacturing background, designers easily ignore the manufacturing feasibility and design parts that cannot be produced. SOMA prototype has a good quoting system to help customer. To enhance production performance, SOMA provides DFM ( design for manufacturing) before tool making. DFM is of a great help to reduce the cost and shorten the lead time.
