(1) Manual hand board: its main workload is completed by hand.

（2）數控手板：其主要工作量是用數控機床完成的，而根據所用設備的不同，又可分為激光快速成形 (RP, Rapid Prototyping)手板和加工（CNC）手板。

(2) CNC hand board: its main workload is completed by CNC machine tools. According to the different equipment used, it can be divided into laser rapid prototyping (RP) hand board and machining center (CNC) hand board.

A： SLA手板：主要是用激光快速成型技術生產出來的手板。

A: SLA hand board: it is mainly produced by laser rapid prototyping technology.

B： CNC手板：主要是用加工生產出來的手板。

B: CNC hand board: it is mainly produced by machining center.

RP手板同CNC手板相比較各有千秋：

Compared with CNC hand board, RP hand board has its own advantages:

RP手板的優點主要表現在它的快速性上，但是它主要是通過 堆積技術成型，因而RP手板一般相對粗糙，而且對產品的壁厚有一定要求，比如說壁厚太薄便不能生產。

The advantages of RP hand board are mainly reflected in its rapidity, but it is mainly formed by stacking technology. Therefore, RP hand board is generally relatively rough and has certain requirements for the wall thickness of products. For example, if the wall thickness is too thin, it can not be produced.

CNC手板的優點體現在它能非常精確的反映圖紙所表達信息，而且CNC手板表面質量高，尤其在其完成表面噴涂和絲印后，甚比開模具后生產出來的產品還要光彩照人。 因此，CNC手板制造愈來愈成為手板制造業的主流。

The advantage of CNC hand board is that it can accurately reflect the information expressed in the drawing, and the surface quality of CNC hand board is high. Especially after its surface spraying and silk screen printing, it is even more glorious than the products produced after opening the mold. Therefore, CNC hand board manufacturing has increasingly become the mainstream of hand board manufacturing industry.

按所用材料分

By material used

手板按照制作所用的材料，可分為塑膠手板、硅膠手板、金屬手板、油泥手板：

According to the materials used for making, the hand board can be divided into plastic hand board, silica gel hand board, metal hand board and oil mud hand board:

（1）塑膠手板：其原材料為塑膠，主要是一些塑膠產品的手板，比如電視機、顯示器、電話機等等。

(1) Plastic hand board: its raw material is plastic, mainly the hand board of some plastic products, such as TV, monitor, telephone, etc.

（2）硅膠手板：其原材料為硅膠，主要是展示產品設計外形的手板，比如汽車、手機、玩具、工藝品、日用品等等。

(2) Silica gel hand board: its raw material is silica gel, which is mainly used to display the design shape of products, such as cars, mobile phones, toys, handicrafts, daily necessities, etc.

（3）金屬手板：其原材料為鋁鎂合金等金屬材料，主要是一些高檔產品的手板， 比如筆記本電腦、單放機、MP3播放機、CD機等等。

(3) Metal bracelet: its raw materials are aluminum magnesium alloy and other metal materials, mainly the bracelets of some high-end products, such as notebook computers, advanced single player, MP3 player, CD player, etc.

（4）油泥手板：其原料為油泥，俗稱泥雕手板，主要用于產品外觀設計和開發，在產品開發初期泥雕師傅根據自己的想象力或者圖片來用油泥做模型，然后在根據油泥模型來確定外觀，不過目前油泥手板被freeform代替了很多。

(4) Clay hand board: its raw material is clay, commonly known as clay carving hand board, which is mainly used for product appearance design and development. At the early stage of product development, clay carving masters make models with clay according to their own imagination or pictures, and then determine the appearance according to the clay model. However, at present, many clay hand boards are replaced by freeform.
