How are toy samples made in plush toy factories?

Plush toy sample production:

After correctly identifying the requirements of the original sample, the materials and process methods corresponding to the sample should be distinguished according to the requirements. If the sample needs to be punched, a knife mold should be made; if the sample needs hot velvet, a hot melt plate should be made; if the sample needs to be printed and cut, a polyester sheet or a screen printing plate should be made; if computer final embroidery is required, full stretch embroidery or patch embroidery should be distinguished. If a knife mold, computer embroidery or screen brush is required, the sample will be handed over to the relevant department for processing; if it is normal cutting, the sample needs to be made according to the requirements for cutting.

General materials for making samples: 200 cardboard for original samples; 0.8mm elastic paper for production samples. The paper for the sample should be flat, clean and dry.

Sample production rules

When making plush toy samples, pay attention to the production principles of the straight line, arc, angle, proportion, symmetry and positioning of the sample, and the text description should be written on the front of the sample. The principle of making a sample is that the straight lines of the sample should be straight, the arcs should be rounded, the notches should be in place, and the angles and proportions should be consistent. Samples with center lines such as trapezoids should keep the two sides symmetrical; the opposite straight lines of rectangular samples should be parallel. The positioning points should be accurate, and the positioning points used for splicing or darts should correspond to each other without omission.

Allowable error range of sample

Pay attention to the accuracy of the copy production sample and keep it consistent with the original sample. There should be no error for sample lengths below 10cm, and the error for those above 10cm is generally within 0.5cm. To maintain the accuracy of the sample, check the degree of deformation of the sample and check it frequently with the original sample during use. If there is damage or deformation, it should be replaced in time. When the fabric shrinks due to different materials or processes after cutting, consider enlarging the sample, but this can only be determined after the sample is sealed and confirmed.

Sample marking requirements

In order to facilitate the correct identification of the sample, the sample marking is very important. The markings of the sample include: product model, product name, part name and sample number, material name (processing requirements). Silk flow direction, number of pieces, positioning mark. All the above contents should be marked on the sample. If the sample area is too small to mark all the contents, the sample number should be marked to prompt the comparison of the process technology requirements sheet. At the same time, the corresponding content should be found on the process technology requirements sheet. The sample should be marked with a controlled mark; the original sample should be stamped with the control stamp of the technical department, and the production sample should be stamped with the control stamp of the production department. The control stamp should have the name or code of the sealer.

Quality requirements for copying samples

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

Interpretation of nesting diagrams

The nesting diagram is a diagram indicating the arrangement of each sample with minimal material. The nesting diagram generally indicates the general information of the silk flow or wool direction of the sample, the reverse or same direction arrangement of the sample, and the sample nesting.

During the cutting operation, calculation and nesting should be performed according to the information prompted by the nesting diagram and the requirements of the production batch, and the unit cutting quantity should be calculated. Nesting should be performed in a way that consumes less material.

Use a digitizer or industrial photography to convert into a vector diagram for template layout

Template layout now mostly uses a digitizer. The digitizer is a very widely used graphic input device in professional application fields, consisting of an electromagnetic induction board, a cursor and a corresponding electronic circuit. When the user moves the cursor to the specified position on the electromagnetic induction board and aligns the intersection of the cross with the digitized point, presses the button, and the digitizer arranges the corresponding command symbol and the coordinate value of the point position into an orderly set of information, and then transmits it to the host computer through the interface (mostly serial interface). The digitizer is a large-area handwriting board, on which users can write and draw graphics with a special electromagnetic induction pressure-sensitive pen or light hair, and transmit them to the computer system. However, it is very different from the handwriting board in terms of software support, and the hardware design also has its own emphasis.
