Transparent lawn mower model manufacturer
Case study of transparent lawn mower model production
This production is a transparent lawn mower model for display, with its biggest feature being the completely transparent body design, which can clearly present the precise mechanical structure inside, including the transmission shaft, gear set, steering wheel linkage device, etc. The production goal is to achieve approximately 90% physical reproduction through exquisite manual craftsmanship without using complex technical parameters, with a focus on showcasing its mechanical beauty and transparent visual effects.
1、 Material selection and preliminary preparation
The main body of the model is made of high transparency and strong PC board, which is used to make the body shell and internal load-bearing structure. The wheels are made of black ABS resin to enhance realism. All transparent boards undergo strict cleaning and constant temperature softening treatment before cutting to ensure that there are no impurities and uniform stress after forming, laying the foundation for subsequent high transparency performance.
2、 Core manufacturing process
The production adopts a layered construction method from the inside out. Firstly, starting from the internal mechanical framework, finely carve out gear grooves and bearing positions; Then install the miniature transmission gear set in place to ensure smooth operation of the moving parts; Finally, seamlessly fit the formed outer shell with the inner skeleton. For details such as the steering wheel and seats, independent carving and overall assembly are adopted, and silver wires are embedded in hydraulic pipes and other parts to simulate the reflective texture of metal and enhance visual realism.
3、 Post production coloring and effect processing
Coloring is the finishing touch. To avoid damaging the transparency, a highly transparent specialized model paint is used for multi-layer spraying throughout the entire process. First, apply a thin layer of transparent light gray as a base, then render transparent blue gray locally on moving parts such as gears and bearings to imitate metallic luster. Finally, use transparent black paint to blend shadows at structural connections and corners, greatly enhancing the three-dimensional sense of the model. After completion, the overall matte transparent protective paint is sprayed to make the model both wear-resistant and maintain a crystal clear texture.
4、 Quality control and implementation effect
By projecting and comparing the model with the physical drawing, the structural proportions are repeatedly adjusted. The final product, under illumination, has a clear view of its internal mechanical structure and distinct components, successfully transforming the mechanical logic of industrial equipment into intuitive visual language, achieving the purpose of display and teaching.
