手板模型亦稱首板，即產(chǎn)品的首個(gè)樣板。早在七十年代香港開始有手板興起，因早時(shí)都用手工制作為主，因而得名曰"手板"，其實(shí)叫首板更為準(zhǔn)確。九十年代后期，特別是近幾年，我國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)突飛猛進(jìn)，工業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)的興起，手板業(yè)開始興起。手板雖小，作用卻非常大，一是體現(xiàn)設(shè)計(jì)思維，二是展覽會(huì)展示，三是檢驗(yàn)?zāi)＞呓Y(jié)構(gòu)。 
       手板廠介紹早期的手板因?yàn)槭艿礁鞣N條件的限制，主要表現(xiàn)在其大部分工作都是用手工完成的，使得做出的手板工期長(zhǎng)而很難嚴(yán)格達(dá)到外觀和結(jié)構(gòu)圖紙的尺寸要求，因而其檢查外觀或結(jié)構(gòu)合理性的功能也大打折扣。隨著科技的進(jìn)步，CAD和CAM技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展,為手板制造提供了更加好的技術(shù)支持，使得手板的精確成為可能。另一方面，隨著社會(huì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的日益激烈，產(chǎn)品的開發(fā)速度日益成為競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的主要矛盾，而手板制造恰恰能有效地提高產(chǎn)品開發(fā)的速度。正是在這種情況下，手板制造業(yè)便脫穎而出，成為一個(gè)相對(duì)獨(dú)立的行業(yè)而蓬勃發(fā)展起來。

       Also known as the first board model, namely the product of the first model. Be in early seventy time Hongkong began to rise due to early Shouban, all handmade, so called" hand", actually called the first board is more accurate. In ninety time later period, especially in recent years, our country economy make a spurt of progress, the rise of industrial design, Shouban industry began to rise. Though small, effect is very big, one is the embodiment of design thinking, two is on display at the exhibition, three testing die structure.　　
      Factory hand introduced early hand due to various conditions, mainly in most of its work is completed by hand, make the hand of long period and difficult to strictly meet the appearance and structural drawings size requirements, so the check the appearance or structure rational functional discounts. With the progress of science and technology, CAD and the rapid development of CAM technology, for manufacturing Shouban provides better technical support, allows the hand precision become possible. On the other hand, as society increasingly fierce competition, product development speed has become the main contradiction and competition, Shouban manufacturing it can effectively improve product development speed. It is in this context, Shouban manufacturing industry and talent showing itself, become a relatively independent industry and development.
