With the increasingly fierce competition in the social market and the development and growth of the industrial design industry, companies not only attach importance to industrial design, but also pay attention to the production of product models. The development quality and actual effect of the product need to be verified using hand model. Under this circumstance, the prototype model industry gradually separated from the industrial design process and became a relatively independent industry and flourished. Many professional prototype model companies have emerged, and larger enterprises and industrial design companies have also established their own prototype model departments. Prototype model companies in China are mainly located in the industrially developed areas of the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Rim.
The prototype model industry can be called a sunrise industry in the future. The development status of the industry has its own advantages. First of all, social demand is large. The direct reason is the increase in investment in product research and development by enterprises, and the indirect reason is related to the development of domestic social economy. Secondly, the entry threshold for this industry is low, and production plants and equipment that meet production requirements can be established without a large amount of capital investment. Finally, the add-ons of this industry are relatively high, and the actual gross profit is much higher than that of the usual manufacturing industry, and even the profit is higher than that of many design companies. At the same time, the prototype cluster production method has been developed. The cluster production method is not to attract more factories to settle in. The ultimate goal is to share the platform and jointly improve production levels. In addition to the development support of prototype clusters, the prototype industry has also cultivated a large number of cutting-edge talents. The products are also moving towards precision, which will support more industries such as the machine tool industry to move towards refinement.
As an important part of product research and development, prototype models have huge potential and broad prospects in the market. With the continuous improvement of technology and the growth of market demand, the prototype model market will continue to develop and gain more opportunities in the upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the needs of innovative enterprises, and the mobile phone and electronic product markets.
