Preparing 3D-Printed Prototypes from Chengdu to Germany by Air
3D-printed prototypes sent from Chengdu to Germany need records by project, revision, material, finishing, quantity, purpose and fragile points. Separate display, fit-check and spare pieces and prevent thin walls, clips, threads and surfaces from damage. Acceptance, declaration, charges and milestones depend on the actual prototypes and current channel.
Separate every prototype by project and revision, material, finishing, quantity and use, and place thin walls, clips, threads and surfaces in the packing requirements. Research samples still need real values and carton records.
Use traceable revision numbers
Record the accurate item, project, revision, printed material, finishing, colour, quantity, purpose, value and photos rather than relying only on internal nicknames.
Protect weak geometry and finished surfaces
Technical owners should mark thin walls, cantilevers, clips, threads and no-load faces and approve any disassembly, support and separation.
Chengdu prototype checklist
Put the revision on the item, inner packing, list and photograph, and reissue the whole record after reprinting or material changes.
- Project, revision and purpose
- Material, finish and colour
- Weak geometry and no-load areas
- Item, inner box and carton mapping
- Final package data and value
- German address and opening notes
Use a supportable prototype value
No sale order does not mean zero value; retain printing, material, processing or purchase evidence and let responsible parties confirm German declaration.
Joint revision sign-off
Stop for mixed revisions, deformation, surface damage or unclear labels, and have the German receiver record opening evidence without confusing design issues with transit damage.
Frequently asked questions
Can the goods simply be called models?
No. Give the real use, material, revision, quantity, finishing, value and relevant transport attributes.
Can different revisions share one carton?
They may if accepted, but must be individually packed and traceable through item, inner box, carton and photos.
Can a prototype without a sale price use zero value?
Not automatically. Retain supportable printing, material, processing or other valuation evidence.
