3D transfer on metal, glass, and CFRP | Decorative finishing of different materials using the VSS method
Achieving decoration on difficult materials and complex shapes in TOM molding through low-temperature transfer using an overheated steam method.
There are few decoration variations for materials other than resin (metal, glass, CFRP/GFRP), and traditional TOM molding has issues with the substrate becoming too thick and concerns about high transfer temperatures affecting the fabric (risk of deformation). We established the VSS method, which applies in-mold technology to transfer only the ink layer. By combining a dedicated stretchable transfer foil with our unique overheating steam heating method, we achieved transfer at low temperatures and in a short time. We have also resolved the thickness issues of TOM molding, enabling thinner designs. We have a track record of final adjustments for commercialization in global brand laptops and will mass-produce high-quality 3D decorations for metal, carbon, and glass.
