Our Specialized Texturing Technologies
1. Sandblasting
Using sandblasting machines to achieve a matt effect and adjust surface gloss through precision fine sand media.
Applies to: High-precision electronics (Printers, Cameras, etc.).
2. Etching Texture
A specialized mold etching process using ink-spray to define base patterns, followed by professional texturing cycles.
Applies to: Automobiles, Electronics, Appliances, and Furniture.
3. VDI 3400 / EDM Finish
Chemical mold texturing process to achieve VDI 3400, EDM texture, or EDM surface effects (Ref. No.18 to No.45).
Applies to: Laptop monitors, Printers, and precision tools.
4. Hairline Texture
Custom hairline designs (beeline/interrupt line) with focus on depth and seamless jointing of superfine lines.
Applies to: Automotive CD panels, iPhone/iPad cases, and Laptops.
5. Leather Texture
Multilayer mold texturing process combining sandblast and spray to create stereoscopic leather patterns with precise seam jointing.
Applies to: Automotive interiors (Instrument panels, Door panels).
6. Geometric Texture
Focuses on regularity and surface friction to make products more stereoscopic and sensuous.
Applies to: Tool handles, Switches, and Handheld electronics.
The required draft angle for mold etching depends mainly on the pattern depth and structure complexity. Generally, for every 0.02mm of texture depth, an additional 1 degree of draft angle is required to ensure smooth plastic injection parts ejection without scratches or deformation.
For traditional chemical etching, pattern jointing relies on experienced craftsmen using precise film masking and multi-stage spray treatments. For high-precision automotive molds, we utilize advanced 5-axis laser texturing machines to completely eliminate physical seams via digital simulation.
