SMIO 選購指南 · 價格與品質 外觀一樣價格卻差很多？揭開醫美儀器「同殼不同質」的祕密 同個外殼，內部完全不同：電路板布局與散熱設計是品質最先暴露的地方。 外觀相同 ≠ 品質相同。醫美儀器市場上，絕大多數機殼來自專門生產外殼的代工廠；不同品牌各自買入同款外殼後，再裝入自家工廠的配件。配件有自主研發與外購組裝之分，能量輸出、穩定性與效果因此天差地別——這就是「看起來一樣、價格卻差好幾倍」的關鍵。 一、外殼從哪來：專業外殼工廠 市場上大部分機殼，是由專門生產外殼的工廠製造的，而外殼本身也有質量好與壞之分。機器生產廠家各自去購買外殼，所以很多時候，大家都買到了相同款式的外殼——這也是為什麼你在不同品牌之間，常常看到「長得一模一樣」的機器。 外殼等級 常見用料 對機器的影響 好外殼 鋁合金 / 高強度 PC、精準模具 散熱佳、結構穩固、手感紮實、耐用 普通外殼 一般…
