Group of techniques of applying texture processing on the surface of plastic moldings instead of engraving or pasting leather on the surface of a mold. One of the features is that original three-dimensional design patterns can be produced on the surface of finished products using processed data of design patterns. There is no need to make tangible design patterns.
Features
- Original texture patterns can be produced
- Shortens the time for grain development compared to etching
- Enables to replicate models close to the parts from production tools
- Be able to keep a better bonding with products than plastic leather
- Handy and useful In assembling because of its thinness
- Interior parts for preproduction cars can be textured as fine as those for mass-produced cars
- Can be applied to various materials such as clay-models
- Can be applied on gaps or steps on the surface made by rapid prototyping such as 3D printer
Procedures

Sample
- Cars Part
- Car parts (steering wheel)
- Promotional samples for designers (Geometric, Dimple, Stripes, and Crepe weave)
Creating a texture surface on a material by using compressed air to blast abrasive particles against it.
Spray etching is a surface treatment process in which ink containing controlled particle sizes is sprayed onto a mold surface using a spray gun, following a specific texture or pattern requirement.
Photo etching is the process of using ultra-violet light to fix an image onto a sheet of metal, and then using chemicals to etch the shape into the metal, removing more and more of the material until only the shape is left.
