Why laser for mold texturing?
Laser ablation texturing is to use controlled laser beams to remove predefined surfaces from the mold surface. This is done layer by layer to accurately achieve the required texture shape.
High Precision
of textures on molds with any curved surfaces that otherwise cannot be achieved via traditional chemical etching or other methods
Full Repeatability
and congruence of texture in different molds
Freedom of design
New high-detail and special texture patterns that appeal visually and physically
Our process
1
Once the texture is chosen, it is changed into a grayscale for mapping on to the texturing surface per required orientation
2
Careful steps are taken to calibrate the mold on to the laser machine to ensure the most precise laser texturing result on the mold.
3
The final digital programming is executed via laser machining. After laser texturing, the surface roughness and gloss can be adjusted.
