Design-Led Prototype Cases设计驱动的原型案例
Case Work Built Around the Right Process.围绕正确工艺打造的案例。
The maker who thinks like a designer.像设计师一样思考的制造商。
Cases should prove more than a finished part. They should show how Maker No.1 reads design intent, chooses the right material-processing route, controls surface finishing and assembly, then keeps the path repeatable when a prototype needs to become a small batch.案例不仅展示最终零件，更应体现 Maker No.1 如何解读设计意图、选择正确的材料加工路线、控制表面处理与装配，并在原型转化为小批量时保持工艺路线的可重复性。
Customer names, drawings and restricted part details are shown only with written approval.客户名称、图纸及受限零件细节仅在获得书面批准后展示。

Subtractive Processing Case减材加工案例
Precision geometry starts with the right cut.精密几何始于正确的切削。
CNC machining is the route when the prototype must behave like the final material: real strength, clean interfaces, stable tolerance and visible edge quality. The case logic starts with DFM because a small radius, deep pocket or fixture decision can change both cost and reliability.当原型必须表现出与最终材料相同的特性（真实强度、整洁界面、稳定公差和可见边缘质量）时，CNC 加工是首选路线。案例逻辑始于 DFM，因为小圆角、深型腔或装夹决策都会影响成本与可靠性。

Formative / Equal-Material Processing Case成形/等材加工案例
Batch-like feel before the hard tooling decision.在开模决策前获得量产级体验。
Vacuum casting, sheet metal forming and similar routes help teams evaluate shape, touch, wall behavior and small-batch appearance before committing to expensive tooling. The right case is not just fast; it gives the customer a believable preview of how the product will feel in hand.真空复模、钣金成形及类似工艺路线有助于团队在投入昂贵模具前评估形状、触感、壁厚表现及小批量外观。正确的案例不仅在于速度快，更能为客户提供产品握持手感的真实预览。

Additive Processing Case增材加工案例
Fast geometry validation while the design is still moving.在设计仍在迭代时进行快速几何验证。
Additive routes are strongest when the question is geometry, iteration speed or internal complexity. Maker No.1 uses 3D printing as a design tool, then helps decide whether the next version should stay printed, move to CNC, or become part of a combined route.当核心诉求是几何形状、迭代速度或内部复杂性时，增材制造路线最具优势。Maker No.1 将3D打印作为设计工具，并协助决定下一版本是继续打印、转向 CNC 加工，还是采用组合工艺路线。

Finishing + Assembly Case表面处理与装配案例
A sample is not done until it looks, feels and assembles like the product.样件的外观、手感和装配必须达到最终产品标准才算完成。
Many prototype suppliers stop at the part. The more useful case is a finished sample: color, texture, transparent windows, inserts, fasteners, button feel and internal fit all working together well enough for customer review, investor demos or pilot feedback.许多原型供应商仅止步于零件交付。更有价值的案例是成品样件：颜色、纹理、透明视窗、镶件、紧固件、按键手感及内部配合均完美协同，足以应对客户评审、投资人演示或试产反馈。

Good cases protect the customer as much as they prove the capability.优秀的案例在证明能力的同时，同样注重保护客户。
For medical, aerospace-grade, robotics and inspection projects, customer identity and part geometry may be more sensitive than the manufacturing process itself. We keep public cases intentionally generic until a customer approves the details.在医疗、航空航天级、机器人及检测项目中，客户身份和零件几何形状可能比制造工艺本身更敏感。在客户批准细节前，我们公开案例会刻意保持通用化。
