The photo book "Pattern Design of Embossing" introduces the features of "embossing," which adds texture to resin materials and creates a sense of luxury, along with examples of the processing. With embellishments such as leather-like, rock-like, geometric patterns, and faux stitching, the design quality is enhanced. It also improves functionality and productivity by reducing glare, minimizing appearance defects, and enhancing release properties, contributing to the creation of higher-quality products. Furthermore, with embossing using ultra-fine laser processing, it is possible to transfer sharply defined designs even onto acrylic materials (transparent resin) as if they were directly engraved. Since the design is processed directly onto the mold, it can be applied precisely to the intended pinpoint areas without any misalignment! This could make it feasible for products that previously had no options other than direct engraving, without the worry of increased costs.

The design of everyday products is often enhanced by a texture finish! In this document, we will introduce some lesser-known design patterns created by this texture finish. What is the texture finish from World Etching Co., Ltd.? It is a technology that allows the transfer of fabric-like designs onto products by applying surface treatments such as chemical etching or sandblasting to the surface of your molds. If you have any requests such as "I want to incorporate this design!" for metal, carbon, or plastic products, please feel free to consult with us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The design technology of "fabric-like" patterns developed in-house by World Etching allows for the transfer of fabric-like designs onto products by performing surface treatments such as etching, which is a chemical process, or sandblasting on the surface of your molds. When manufacturing plastic products with molds that have fabric-like patterns, it is possible to incorporate the fabric-like design into the surface of the products. This can be done on just the sides or specific areas of the surface. Since the design is directly integrated into the product, it is naturally more durable than applying sheets or printing afterward, and it can be mass-produced easily without increasing the manufacturing process. 【Recommended for those who:】 ■ Want to enhance the design aspect of their product's appearance. ■ Want to incorporate designs even on plastic materials with poor adhesion. ■ Want to decorate plastic parts with fabric-like designs. ■ Want to add design elements to urethane or silicone materials, etc. ★ If you have requests such as "I want to incorporate this design into metal, carbon, or plastic products!" please feel free to consult with us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Our company possesses one of the largest laser welding facilities in the country. We can handle large to small molds and deep parts, and we are capable of welding down to the tip of a utility knife blade. Additionally, using our teaching function, we can perform complex three-dimensional welding that was previously difficult to achieve in a short time. Moreover, compared to other welding methods, our process has lower heat input, eliminating the need for preheating and post-heating, and it has a smaller welding area, which helps reduce lead times for finishing work. It is particularly suitable for repairing PL scratches and pinholes. 【Features】 ■ Capable of handling large to small molds and deep parts ■ Can weld down to the tip of a utility knife blade ■ Performs complex three-dimensional welding in a short time ■ Low heat input with no need for preheating or post-heating ■ Smaller welding area, allowing for reduced lead times in finishing work *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

World Intec, known as a "hospital for molds" capable of repairing molds including some of the best in Japan and abroad, addresses various troubles from the repair of resin injection molds. With our strength in providing "one-stop solutions from mold repair to texture repair," we aim to shorten lead times and reduce transportation costs between mold manufacturers and texture manufacturers. As an example of trouble response, we will briefly introduce the process for addressing molding defects that result in burrs. 【Repair Process for PL Defects】 ■ Diagnosis: After the mold arrives, we check the areas where burrs appear on the molded products and investigate the causes. ■ Repair: We repair gaps and scratches that cause defects through welding and other methods. ■ Fitting: We color the defective areas and check the fit based on how the color appears. ■ Polishing: Final polishing of the mold. ■ Texture Repair: Repair of texture if necessary. ■ Finishing: After confirming operation, we conduct a final inspection, apply anti-rust treatment, package, and deliver. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an introduction to the types of textures. Textures include leather (scales), pearlescent, wood grain, rock grain, sand grain, fabric patterns, and geometric patterns. When processing the surface of a mold with texture, patterns are created through chemical treatments such as etching or physical treatments like sandblasting. 【Types】 ■ Leather Texture (Single Texture) - Created in one processing step (Etching) ■ Leather Texture (Composite Texture) - Requires two or more processing steps (Etching) ■ Geometric Texture - A wide variety, from regular to irregular (Etching, Laser Processing) ■ Pearlescent - A rough pattern (similar to the surface of a pear) (Etching, Sandblasting) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Let me introduce the advantages of the texture finish. Texture processing is utilized for various purposes beyond decoration. It not only enhances the luxurious feel and changes the appearance but also provides effects such as improving the tactile feel, preventing slipping, and making dirt (fingerprints) and scratches less noticeable. Additionally, it helps to conceal weld lines and sink marks that occur during molding, making it easier to release products from molds, thus contributing to productivity. 【Advantages】 ■ Measures against appearance defects - Makes appearance defects from molding, such as welds and sink marks, less visible - Reduces susceptibility to scratches ■ Improvement of product quality - Enables the formation of various decorative patterns ■ Enhancement of functionality - Improves adhesion of writing, stickers, etc., light diffusion effects, anti-slip effects, moisturizing effects, condensation prevention effects, water-repellent effects, and noise reduction measures *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Shibo processing" refers to a type of surface treatment that physically creates a wrinkled pattern (shibo) on the surface. The wrinkled pattern on the surface of leather products is called "shibo," and in the leather industry, the process of adding wrinkles to leather is referred to as "adding shibo." In the textile industry, the process of gathering chirimen (a type of crepe fabric) to create wrinkles is called "shibo-uke," and the wrinkled chirimen is referred to as "shibo fabric." From this, the term "shibo processing" has been derived to describe the process of transferring fine patterns (indentations) onto the surface of molds (casting molds or press molds) when shaping or pressing materials such as plastic or metal, and these patterns are also called "shibo." *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Our company performs "etching texture processing." Texture processing is a type of surface treatment that physically creates a wrinkled pattern (texture). When molding or pressing materials such as plastic or metal, fine patterns (protrusions and recesses) are transferred to the surface of the mold (casting mold or press mold). When texturing the surface of a mold, patterns are created through chemical treatment by etching or physical treatment such as sandblasting. 【Etching Texture Processing Steps】 ■ Masking ■ Pattern Transfer ■ Correction ■ Etching (Corrosion) ■ Sandblasting Treatment ■ Finishing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
