Etching of injection molds for leather graining

2004

Dear sir;

In Turkey I manufacture nickel & copper electroform molds for plastic and rubber injection molds. I try to make trims (leather grainings, etc.) onto the surface of the molds, but its very hard to fit the polyester film onto complex shapes. Do I need a special type of a film or another method?

Best Regards

Our on-line article "Closing the quality gap on textured molds" may be food for thought.
