Description

Texture Finish Options

 

We offer a wide range of plastic-prototype surface textures, from functional finishes to premium presentation grades. Roughness parameters are measured per ISO 4287.

Leather-Effect Texture

Simulates genuine-leather appearance and soft-touch feel - ideal for premium consumer electronics and automotive interiors. Typical Ra 1.6–6.3 μm, Rz 8–30 μm, texture depth 0.05–0.15 mm. Improves perceived quality and grip comfort.

01

Matte / Fine Grain Finish

Uniform low-gloss surface that helps hide fingerprints and minor scratches. Typical Ra 0.8–3.2 μm, Rz 4–15 μm. Common on medical-device handles and appliance housings.

02

Heavy Grain / Coarse Texture

Pronounced particulate feel with strong anti-slip performance. Typical Ra 3.2–12.5 μm, Rz 15–50 μm. Suited to tool housings and industrial prototypes.

03

High Gloss / Mirror Finish

Optical-grade smooth surface. Ra ≤0.4 μm, Rz ≤2 μm. Suited to transparent parts and high-end display models.

04

Custom Texture

We can replicate specific design patterns, geometric textures, or brand-logo textures from CAD files or physical reference samples.

Each texture option is supported by physical sample plaques (macro and multi-angle) showing real Ra/Rz values and recommended applications.

FAQ

 

Q1: What is the minimum order quantity for textured plastic prototypes?

Single-piece prototyping is supported with no minimum order quantity - whether you need one functional test prototype or a small batch of presentation models.

Q2: How long does it take to produce custom textured plastic prototypes?

Standard textured prototypes are typically delivered in 7–10 working days. Complex custom textures or larger parts may take 10–14 working days. We provide a clear lead time at quotation.

Q3: What surface roughness (Ra) values can you achieve?

Ra from 0.1 μm (mirror finish) to 12.5 μm (heavy texture) can be controlled. Common matte/grain finishes are 0.8–3.2 μm; leather textures are typically 1.6–6.3 μm. Measurement reports are available on request.

Q4: Which materials work best for grain or leather-texture prototypes?

ABS, PC, PP, and Nylon are most common. Different materials present textures slightly differently; we recommend the optimal material based on your functional and aesthetic requirements.

Q5: Do you provide free texture samples before ordering?

Yes. Free standard texture sample plaques are available for physical evaluation before committing to a custom project.

Q6: Can you replicate a specific custom texture from my design file or physical sample?

Yes. Provide CAD files, reference images, or a physical sample. We use professional scanning and precision machining to replicate textures with high fidelity.

Q7: What tolerances can you hold on textured surfaces?

Surface texture areas typically maintain ±0.05 mm precision, with overall dimensional tolerance at ±0.1 mm. Complex geometries are reviewed during DFM.

Q8: Are your textured prototypes produced under ISO certification?

Yes. We operate under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, ensuring full control and traceability of materials and processes.
