More Details
We integrate industrial design aesthetics with DFM experience to provide a complete exterior prototype solution for washing machines:
Main Housing: PCM color-coated steel panels (matte black) or ABS plastic parts with injection molding + matte spray finishing, ensuring uniform appearance and durable surface protection;
Top Decorative Strip: ABS engineering plastic with vacuum electroplating, creating metallic silver highlights;
Door Glass: High-temperature thermally bent tempered glass with AF anti-fingerprint coating, maintaining transparent visual appeal and scratch resistance;
Display Panel: Microcrystalline glass or IML plastic panels, using silk-screen + laser engraving, coupled with capacitive touch sensors, providing a waterproof, oil-resistant, intuitive interface;
Branding & Details: Logo engraved or plated for seamless integration; precise assembly with clips + screws, ensuring consistent gaps, tight sealing, and refined aesthetics.
Suitable for: front-load washing machines, washer-dryers, high-end household laundry appliances, for OEM/ODM brands, new design prototypes, and concept validation samples.
Key Features & Advantages
1️⃣High-Fidelity Appearance
- Main steel or plastic panels: matte black with uniform texture, scratch- and wear-resistant;
- Top trim: metallic silver effect via vacuum electroplating;
- Door & display: clear, high-quality tempered glass or IML panels with laser-engraved translucency.
2️⃣Multi-Material Collaboration & Durability
- PCM steel: corrosion-resistant, powder-coated or film-laminated for long-lasting finish;
- ABS plastic: injection-molded with matte spray, matching steel texture;
- Touch-sensitive display: microcrystalline glass or IML with waterproof and oil-proof surface;
- All coatings: AF anti-fingerprint and scratch-resistant options available.
3️⃣Rapid Prototyping & Appearance Validation
- CNC sheet metal forming + powder coating or film lamination for prototype housings;
- Injection-molded ABS parts polished and coated for fit and visual consistency;
- Doors and display panels produced for touch and tactile verification;
- Full prototype enables function, fit, and assembly testing.
4️⃣DFM & Structural Optimization
- Assembly gaps controlled to ±0.05 mm for seamless appearance;
- Clips + screws + precise mold design for robust, consistent connections;
- Draft angles, panel alignment, and screw bosses optimized during prototyping.

FAQs
Q1: Can you customize colors, finishes, and assembly features?
Yes. Colors, film lamination, coatings, and panel finishes can be tailored to brand or PANTONE standards; structural features developed from CAD or sketches.
Q2: Are the touch panels waterproof and scratch-resistant?
Yes. Microcrystalline glass or IML panels are combined with AF anti-fingerprint coatings and capacitive sensor integration.
Q3: Do you accept small-batch prototype orders?
Yes. Supports 1–10 sets for appearance, fit, and functional verification.
