Chicago, Illinois - This presentation will explain the Laser Texturing process and features/benefits it can bring to the Mold Manufacturing Industry. Used for plastic injection, medical, aerospace, ICT, automotive, consumer products, and many more mold texturing. Target these market audiences and show what is currently being used in the European market and explain the process and how it can be applied in design, styling, and manufacturing.
This presentation will show how texture is done currently (chemical etching) and how this new technology can not only work with it but also possibly completely replace it. It will also show new grains being used in Europe due to this technology (Geometric Patterns) that is very difficult / impossible with current means of texturing (chemical etching). This presentation has been given to major companies of Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, ICT, etc… and there is more and more request to be presented more. Everybody seems to be very interested to learn more about the process and features. This is new and exciting technology and gives the styling and design departments endless opportunities.
