The touch of the first generation iPad back shell with CNC technology has a certain particle sense. In terms of internal design, the internal performance of the first generation iPad back shell is relatively rough, the fixation method of internal screws and the design of “baffle” are relatively abrupt, and the overall design sense of the back shell is poor. However, the existence of the stripe design can better provide space for components and ensure the performance of the product. The thickening design at the back shell key position can ensure the fixed mode of the function key to a certain extent.
In addition, the internal screw fixing method and “baffle” design of the iPad using CNC technology are more prominent. It can be seen that the preliminary CNC process applied to flat products is still relatively rough. There are still many areas to be improved in the internal design. However, the strict product precision and outstanding texture make the process superior to the injection molding and stamping molding process. Of course, this is only the initial CNC process, so what progress has been made in this process? Let’s go on to look.
CNC processing technology tends to be mature. Nokia N1 and iPad air2 adopt this technology. With the development of CNC technology, more and more tablet products are applied. The most representative ones are Apple’s latest series of tablet ipadir2 and Nokia N1 tablet computer. Both of these two products adopt CNC technology on the back shell. What are the improvements in technology and design?
Nokia N1 uses the latest CNC technology back shell, which improves the process and makes the appearance more beautiful. In terms of CNC processing, the products made by this process are more “slim”, the overall visual and sensory impact of the back shell is enhanced, and the product appearance becomes more exquisite (of course, this is also related to the upgrading and improvement of the screen), and the surrounding border becomes more rounded, not a rigid “frame” shape Design, more comfortable to hold, the change can be said to be a technological improvement.
Nokia N1 peripheral border becomes more rounded, not a rigid “frame” design. In addition, there are some improvements in the details of the key position, so that the key position does not stay on the side border, but is close to the back plate to a certain extent. In this way, the thickness of the body is reduced and the user’s operation is not affected. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone. To a certain extent, the realization of the design also depends on the improvement of the process.
The details of the key position are also improved to facilitate operation, but also more beautiful. The concave design of the interface has also been improved in the previous technology. There is a certain gap between the two key positions. The design makes the volume key position and the shutdown key set adjacent, which makes the side of the machine more beautiful.
The precision of CNC process perfectly supports the design with the close distance between two key positions. It can be seen that the appearance of today’s CNC technology has been greatly improved compared with that before. The round frame, more refined appearance and more mature grinding technology are available. The high-precision grinding fuselage will have a kind of industrial design aesthetic feeling. But these are only the improvement of appearance process, so whether the inner process of the back shell is also improved? Please go on to see.
