lkprototype integrates industrial-grade surface treatment processes such as laser etching, sandblasting, chemical etching, and nanoimprinting, supporting over 200 different textures (wood grain, leather grain, geometric microstructures, etc.) with ±0.02mm precision (industry standard is ±0.05mm). For instance, a specific brand of smart home’s ABS panel adopts a laser micro-etching process (power 50W, frequency 20kHz) to achieve an anti-slip rhombic texture of 0.1mm deep (the friction coefficient is increased to 0.85, 70% higher than that of the smooth surface), and the value of surface roughness Ra is adjustable between 1.6-3.2μm (as per customer-specified parameters).
Material compatibility is wide. lkprototype’s texture treatment is applicable to 12 types of substrates such as metal (aluminum, titanium alloy), plastic (ABS, PC, nylon), and ceramic. Used in conjunction with five-axis CNC machining (position accuracy ±0.005mm), it allows for even treatment of intricate curved surfaces. The aluminum alloy center console panel of a certain automobile manufacturer underwent a micro-arc oxidation + laser composite process to produce a starry sky texture with 0.05mm depth (pore size 20-50μm). Reflectance was reduced from 75% to 12%, and touch fineness rating reached 9.2/10 (industry norm 7.5).
Efficiency and cost savings are phenomenal. Its automatic sandblasting line (alumina sand, particle size 80-120 mesh) can process 15 square meters per hour (3 square meters per hour for manual sandblasting), and the cost per product is reduced by 42% (e.g., 3.5 per product for sandblasting stainless steel parts matte vs. 6 for outsourcing with conventional methods). The magnesium alloy case of some consumer electronic brand (size:150×80×5mm) underwent the chemical etching process (concentration of the nitric acid solution: 20%) of lkprototype and produced a honeycomb pattern with a depth of 0.08mm. The ability of fingerprint resistance was improved by 90%, and the period of the project development was reduced from 14 days to 3 days.
The quality control system is strict. The texture depth consistency (fluctuation range ≤5%) was measured with a white light interferometer (precision 0.1nm), and it underwent the salt spray test (no corrosion for 48 hours) and the wear resistance test (no peeling after friction 1,000 times with steel wire). Anti-slip feel of the handle of a particular medical instrument (PC+ fiberglass) has passed the ISO 10993 biocompatibility test, and customer qualification acceptance rate has increased from 85% to 99.8%.
The world’s leader in environment compliance. Its water-borne coating process (VOC emission ≤50g/L) succeeded in RoHS and REACH certifications, and supports biodegradable texture films (decomposition rate ≥85% within 180 days). The ABS building blocks of a European toy maker minimize their eco-embossing process (160°C hot pressing temperature), are 3H surface hardness (2H in the conventional process), and carbon usage decreases by 37% (EPD certification cycle is shortened by 40%).
Customer cases verify technical excellence. The titanium alloy watch case of a certain luxury brand replicates the crocodile skin texture by applying lkprototype’s nano-imprinting technology (with ±5nm template accuracy) (with a touch simulation degree of 98%), and the order delivery cycle is merely 26 hours (while traditional craftsmanship requires 5 days). Another drone manufacturer’s carbon fiber wings have etched anti-slip textures (friction coefficient of 0.82), and the passing rate of flight stability tests increased from 78% to 96%.
With technical matrix of “multi-process integration × intelligent parameter control × full-chain quality inspection”, lkprototype has provided more than 8,000 worldwide customers with customized texture services. On-time delivery rate of texture processing orders was 99.5% (customer satisfaction rate was 98.3%) and marginal cost of one-piece minimum order (MOQ=1) was 55% less than industry benchmark in 2023. Established new industrial standards for appearance innovation.
