Embossing of polyester for key location on man machine interface overlays produced with polyester or polycarbonate have been limited to the pillow, dome or rim emboss alternatives available using cam-shell platens and similar machinery - squeezing the sheet between a male and female die until the sheet deformed .
With 3D-id Lexicraft offer a soft feel solution with the possibility of a raised dome of up to 4mm height.
As well as the tactile benefits which the user enjoys, there is no hard tooling, the sheet does not need to be formed and there is no possibility for miss-alignment of the embossing die.
In addition other area of the panel can be 'highlighted' to allow the company logo to be enhanced for example.
