A method of manufacturing a floor board comprises the steps of supplying a panel, printing a curable substance or surface removing substance onto the panel in a predefined pattern for creating an elevation on the panel at the pattern or removing a portion of the surface of the panel at the pattern, respectively, and curing the curable substance or removing any reaction products of the surface removing substance and the panel.

A method for manufacturing a decorated-part comprises a first and second base coat-layer-forming process, a surface coat-layer-forming process and a laser-decorating process. In the first base coat-layer-forming process, the first base coat-layer colored in a highly light color at a lightness-level of 70 or more is formed on the surface of the resin base-material 12. In the second base coat-layer-forming process, the second base coat-layer 21C colored in a chromatic color is formed on the first base coat-layer. In the surface coat-layer-forming process, the surface coat-layer colored in a less-bright color at a lightness-level of 20 or less is formed on the second base coat-layer 21C. In the laser-decorating process, the first laser-processed groove penetrating the surface coat-layer and exposing partially the second base coat-layer is made by irradiating the infrared laser onto such surface coat-layer, thus providing a fine decoration onto the surface of said decorated-part.

A method for reducing surface roughness of a component according to an example of the present disclosure includes forming a layer of reactive material on a surface of a component, the surface of the component having at least one partially attached particle, whereby the reactive material substantially covers the at least one partially attached particle, and dissolving the reactive material, wherein dissolving the reactive material covering the partially attached particles causes the partially attached particles to break free from the surface of the component, leaving a new smooth surface.

Another method for reducing surface roughness of an engine component according to an example of the present disclosure includes forming a component by additive manufacturing, the component including an internal feature having at least one rough area, the rough area including at least one partially attached particle, forming an aluminum layer on the surface of the component, the aluminum layer substantially covering the at least one partially attached particle, heat treating the component to cause diffusion of aluminum in a diffusion zone, and dissolving away the aluminum layer and diffusion zone, wherein dissolving the aluminum covering the at least one partially attached particle and the diffusion zone causes the at least one partially attached particle to be freed from the surface of the component.

A coated panel may include at least a substrate and a top layer with a printed motif. The top layer may be provided on the substrate. The top layer may also include a transparent or translucent synthetic material layer, which is provided above the printed motif. The top layer and preferably at least the transparent or translucent synthetic material layer may include a foamable or foamed synthetic material.

The method makes it possible to produce a decorated element for a timepiece or piece of jewelry. This decorated element may be, for example, a watch dial. The method includes the steps of taking a base substrate, and micromachining on said base substrate a mold or decorative partitions in a programmed pattern, and filling the mold or the decorative partitions with at least one filler material to obtain the decorated element. The filler material may be an epoxy resin and the mold or the partitions are obtained by melting and solidifying a solder paste or powder.

A process for manufacturing a coated panel. The process can comprise providing a panel having at least an upper surface, a lower surface, and edges joining the upper surface and the lower surface. The panel can be arranged so that the lower surface is facing upwards, and first particles can be dispersed on the lower surface of the panel. The process can comprise turning the panel so that the upper surface is facing upwards, and applying first particles and second particles on the upper surface of the panel. A dcor can be applied in the form of a printed pattern to the upper surface. The process can further comprise curing and/or melting the first particles to form a sealed upper surface whereby the surface forms a coating providing at least one property of abrasion resistance and scratch resistance on the surface.
