Imagine your product with special finishes that not only make it more sought-after, but also better performing. In these cases, the textures perform a precise job and ensure greater reliability of the object.
Non-slip surfaces for shoe soles, grip effects for handles and grips, opaque surfaces of headlights; these are concrete examples of what you can obtain with our laser engravings.
We develop high performing finishes, that combine functionality and aesthetics.
There are sectors where performance is the only thing that counts. So, it is important to improve surfaces with textures designed to increase efficiency, to make the object more competitive on the market, i.e. for dynamic seals.
The solution to wear caused by friction
In addition to consumables, functional surfaces also improve the operation of mechanical components, for example dynamic seals installed on moving parts and actuators. Softslide, a technology developed in the Horizon 2020 programme, is used to create friction-free textures that significantly reduce wear due to friction.
Case study
Dark Machine di Grivel
Dark Machine is the first axe for extreme climbs with anti-slip grip built into the handle, that ensures a secure grip during sports activities. The special bi-directional texture engraved on the moulds has been designed to eliminate the need to wrap the handle with tapes that are subject to wear.
