SURFACE ENHANCING TECHNOLOGY

Greater design flexibility for plastic injection moulding: Eschmann Textures has an innovative 3D printing technology for pre-visualization CERAtex which enables different designs to be produced from the same tool.

In conventional production methods the tool determines how the structure looks. Things are different with this process: By applying a heat-resistant, almost wear-free ceramic coating to the tool surface, plastic components can be produced in a very wide range of different looks.

This provides you with a completely new level of flexibility that gives you an extra dimension of design creativity. CERAtex adds a ceramic coating to create the surface texture.

This 3D printing technology for pre-visualization enables users to enhance an almost infinite range of products by adding customized surface textures. This ceramic process facilitates true-to-original design reproduction at unbeatably short reproduction lead times. CERAtex can be removed at any time from the tool without leaving residues and be re-applied without the need for additional polishing, modified wall thicknesses or similar.
