(1) Inspection of appearance design

工业模型不仅是可视的，而且是可触摸的，他可以很直观的以实物的形式把设计师的创意反映出来，避免了"画出来好看而做出来不好看"的弊端。因此工业模型制作在新品开发，产品外形推敲的过程中是必不可少的。

The industrial model is not only visible, but also touchable. It can directly reflect the designer's creativity in the form of physical objects, avoiding the drawback of "good-looking drawings but not good-looking ones". Therefore, the production of industrial model is essential in the process of new product development and product shape evaluation.

（2）检验结构设计

(2) Inspection of structural design

因为工业模型是可装配的，所以它可直观的反映出结构的合理与否，安装的难易程度。便于及早发现问题，解决问题。

Because the industrial model can be assembled, it can directly reflect whether the structure is reasonable or not, and the difficulty of installation. It is convenient to find and solve problems as early as possible.

（3）避免直接开模具的风险性

(3) Avoid the risk of directly opening the mold

由于模具制造的费用一般很高，比较大的模具价值数十万乃至几百万，如果在开模具的过程中发现结构不合理或其他问题，其损失可想而知。而工业模型制作则能避免这种损失，减少开模风险。

Due to the high cost of mold manufacturing, the relatively large mold is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. If unreasonable structure or other problems are found in the process of opening the mold, the loss can be imagined. The industrial model making can avoid this kind of loss and reduce the risk of mold opening.

（4）使产品面世时间大大提前

(4) Make the product come to the market much earlier

由于工业模型制作的超前性，你可以在模具开发出来之前利用工业模型作产  品的宣传，甚至前期的销售、生产准备工作，及早占领市。

Because of the advanced production of industrial models, you can use industrial models to publicize products before the development of molds, and even make preparations for sales and production in the early stage, so as to occupy the market as soon as possible.

工业模型按照制作所用的材料分，可分为塑胶工业模型和金属工业模型：

The industrial model can be divided into plastic industrial model and metal industrial model according to the materials used for production:

（1）塑胶：其原材料为塑胶如ABS、PC、PP、PE、PA、POM、PVC、亚克力等，主要用在，如显示器、电话机、家用电器、电子产品、交通工具等一些产品外壳。

(1) Plastic: its raw materials are plastic, such as ABS, PC, PP, PE, PA, POM, PVC, acrylic, etc., which are mainly used for the shell of some products, such as display, telephone, household appliances, electronic products, vehicles, etc.

（2）金属：其原材料为铜铁铝钢合金等金属材料，主要是用在产品的强度美观显得产品的活力，如笔记本电脑、手机、MP3播放机、CD机等一些有标志性的产品。

(2) Metal: its raw material is copper iron aluminum alloy and other metal materials, mainly used in products with beautiful strength and vitality, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, MP3 players, CD players and other iconic products.

产品的后处理：电镀、喷涂、拉丝、抛光、喷沙、彩印、丝印、移印等表面处理。

After treatment: plating, spraying, drawing, polishing, sandblasting, color printing, screen printing, pad printing and other surface treatment.

如今的工业模型并非手板那么简单，它已经从数码产品、家用医疗产品和汽车配件等转化为大型的机械模型和工程模型。它甚至比建筑模型规模还庞大，工艺难度系数进一步提高。分类如下：

Today's industrial models are not so simple as handboards. They have been transformed from digital products, home medical products and auto parts into large-scale mechanical models and engineering models. It is even larger than the scale of building model, and the process difficulty coefficient is further improved. The classification is as follows:

核电站模型、火电、垃圾发电厂、风力发电厂系列模型

Nuclear power plant model, thermal power plant, garbage power plant, wind power plant series model

(1)火力发电厂整体模型、机组模型

(1) Overall model and unit model of thermal power plant

(2)汽轮机模型

(2) Turbine model

(3)锅炉及锅炉房模型

(3) Boiler and boiler room model

(4)发电厂系统演示板模型

(4) Power plant system demonstration board model

(5)发电厂动力及辅助设备模型

(5) Power and auxiliary equipment model of power plant

(6)核电站,反应堆及其组件

(6) Nuclear power plant, reactor and its components

(7)新能源形式

(7) New energy forms

(8)洁净能源项目模型。
