Prototype surface technology - etching

Mold etching generally has different names according to people's habits, such as bite marks, sunburn marks, burnt marks, burnt marks, etching, etc. And there are types of textures such as fine lines, fine lines, skin lines, coarse lines, etc. Then the question comes. Some people may ask, why do you have to make a prototype mold that is flat and smooth to be uneven? So, what is the role of prototype etching?

1. Play the role of decorative products, making the products more beautiful and elegant, and improving the appearance and texture of plastic parts;

Make products present multiple changes or completely new designs.

2. It overcomes the shortcomings of printing and spray paint that are easy to wear off.

3. Meet the visual requirements: Because the smooth and mirror-like surface of the product is easily scratched and easily stained with dust and fingerprints, and the defects, silk marks and ripples produced during the formation process will be undoubtedly exposed on the smooth surface of the product, and Some decorative patterns such as leather grain, orange peel grain, wood grain, matte surface, rain pattern, etc. can hide the shortcomings of the product surface during the molding process, making the product beautiful in appearance and catering to visual needs.

4. The pattern can be made so that the surface of the product and the surface of the cavity can accommodate a little air, preventing vacuum adsorption and making demoulding easier.

5. Anti-slip, anti-rotation, and good feel.

6. Made into a matte or matte surface to prevent light reflection, eliminate eye fatigue, etc.

Mold etching process

Film washing - mucous membrane - chemical inspection - surface treatment - printing treatment - chemical engraving - surface treatment - QC - anti-rust treatment - packaging

Advantages of prototype etching compared to other mold surface treatments

1. Low cost-----The cost of a set of mold etching can be as low as more than 1,000 yuan, or as high as less than 1,000 yuan.

2. High yield----After the mold is patterned, the yield rate of injection molded products can be greatly improved.

3. Fast-----The entire process can be completed in about three days

4. Rich effects----Can do various effects
