Method of manufacturing a substrate with a cut thermal film comprises obtaining an input digital image of a design to be transferred to the substrate; storing the input image in memory; rendering design elements of the design as a single output image; based upon a bleed size value, a maximum number of negative areas, a maximum number of positive areas, and attribute values: resizing the image to include a border for bleed; filling transparent areas of the image with the substrate attribute values; creating a cutting path; creating a mask image; inverting the mask image; modifying the mask image to adjust fill areas around details, to limit negative areas to be less than the maximum number of negative areas, and to limit positive areas to be less than the maximum number of positive areas; creating cutting path data in memory as a vector path outlining the mask image.

A method for decorating a substrate by providing the substrate, detecting a first design covering a first area of the substrate and/or detecting the positioning of the first design with respect to the substrate, providing a second design which is a function of the first design and/or of the positioning of the first design with respect to the substrate, and printing the second design covering a second area of the substrate.

A film structure, a method for manufacturing the film structure, a shell, and an electronic device are disclosed. The film structure includes a first film assembly and a second film assembly. The first film assembly includes a first film and a texture layer stacked sequentially. The second film assembly includes a second film and a ribbon unit disposed on the second film. The second film assembly is laminated on the first film assembly. The ribbon unit is located adjacent to the first film, and an orthographic projection of the ribbon unit projected on a plane on which the texture layer is located falls in the texture layer.
