How to make samples of plush toys?

Before mass production of each plush toy, it is necessary to make a prototype. During the process of making a prototype, what problems may arise and how to improve them? Therefore, the process of making a prototype is very important. But what is the process of making samples for plush toys and what should be noted?

When the customer provides drawings or paper to the plush toy manufacturer, the designer needs to correctly identify the requirements of the original sample, and then distinguish the materials and process methods corresponding to the sample according to the requirements. For example, the cutting method, if a template needs to be punched, a knife mold should be made; For samples that require hot velvet, a hot melt plate should be made; If it is normal cutting, a template needs to be made according to the requirements for cutting. The general materials used for making templates: the original template uses 200 cardboard; Use 0 for production samples. 8mm elastic paper. The sample paper should be flat, clean, and dry

When making plush toy samples, attention must be paid to the production principles of straight lines, arcs, angles, proportions, symmetry, and positioning of the samples, and written descriptions should be written on the front of the sample. The principles of making a template are straight lines, rounded curves, precise cutting edges, consistent angles and proportions. A template with a centerline, such as a trapezoid, should maintain symmetry on both sides; The straight lines on opposite sides of the rectangular template should be kept parallel. The positioning points must be accurate, and the positioning points used for splicing or provincial roads must correspond without any omissions.

Copying production templates should be precise and consistent with the original template. Samples with a length of less than 10cm must not have any error, while samples with a length of more than 10cm are allowed to have an error within a range of 0.5cm. In order to maintain the accuracy of the sample and check the degree of deformation of the sample, it is necessary to repeatedly check with the original sample during use. If there are any discrepancies, they should be replaced in a timely manner. When errors may occur due to different materials or processes of the fabric after cutting, it is necessary to consider enlarging or shrinking the sample, but this can only be determined after confirmation by sealing the sample.

In order to facilitate the correct identification of the template, the logo of the template is very important. The logo of the sample includes: product model, product name, part name and sample number, material name (process processing requirements). The direction of silk flow, quantity of cut pieces, positioning marks, etc. must all be marked on the sample. If the sample area is too small to be marked with all the above content, the sample number can be marked, and the corresponding content can be found on the production process technical requirements sheet.

The accuracy of replicating production samples is a prerequisite for ensuring the accuracy of cutting pieces. The quality requirements for copying templates are: accurate shape, correct markings, and complete information.

The layout diagram is a schematic diagram indicating the arrangement of each sample plate with minimal material usage. The layout diagram generally provides general information on the thread flow or hair direction of the sample, the reverse or same direction arrangement of the sample, and the pattern nesting.

During the cutting operation, the unit cutting amount should be calculated and arranged according to the information indicated in the layout diagram and the requirements of the production batch. Arrange materials in a way that minimizes material consumption.
