An article having a laser-formed marking is disclosed. The article includes a coating defining an exterior surface of the article and the marking extends through the coating. The marking comprises a recessed marking feature which provides a color or other visual attribute to the marking.

A braille printing device includes a device body; a linear actuator with an actuator body and an actuator hammer; a liquid ejection unit, including a liquid container a resin piston, and a dispensing tube; a slidable connector with a groove; a vertical stop; a trigger switch; a slide stop member; a slide holder plate including a slide holder back portion, a slide stop member, and first and second sliding rails; and a control unit, such that the braille printing device deposits spherical domes of printing fluid on a printing substrate to form a braille text.

The present disclosure relates to an exterior panel for a home appliance and a method of manufacturing the same.

The exterior panel for a home appliance according to one aspect includes: a base layer made of a metal material, a deposition layer formed at a center except for an edge of an upper layer of the base layer and made of a metal material, and a coating layer formed on the deposition layer and an upper surface of the edge of the base layer, on which the deposition layer is not formed.

A method for surface decoration of articles comprises the following steps A), B) and C). Step A) comprises applying a base layer to the surface of a main body. The base layer comprises at least one photoluminescent additive. Step B) comprises applying on the base layer a metallization layer configured to make at least partially visible the photoluminescence of said base layer. In particular, step B) comprises a process of deposition of metal particles on the base layer. Step C) comprises applying a transparent coating layer on the base and metallization layers. The above-mentioned method allows to obtain an article with a metallic surface finishing having a luminescence effect which can be perceived especially in low light conditions or under the effect of ultraviolet light.

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing an interior material, which can implement various and distinct light emission effects by disposing a light-blocking layer configured to block light emitted from a light source at a location adjacent to an inner transparent film and then allowing the component of the transparent film to fill lighting grooves formed by laser-etching. Since a tape configured to support an island is employed, stable manufacturing is possible throughout an overall process.

Multilayer articles that include electrical circuits are prepared by the adhesive transfer of electrical circuit elements to the surface of an adhesive. A number of different methodologies are used, with all of the methodologies including the use of simple layers of circuit-forming material on a releasing substrate and structuring to generate circuit elements which can be transferred to an adhesive surface. In some methodologies, a structured releasing substrate is used to selectively transfer circuit-forming material, either from protrusions on the releasing substrate or from depressions on the releasing substrate. In other methodologies, an unstructured releasing substrate is used and either embossed to form a structured releasing substrate or contacted with a structured adhesive layer to selectively transfer circuit-forming material.

A method for producing a decorative surface is disclosed, wherein a manipulation medium applied to the surface is remove in a mechanical and/or contactless manner therefrom. Further, a device for performing the method is disclosed.

A method for manufacturing a structure on a surface of a workpiece (1) is disclosed, the method having the following steps: applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); spraying on at least one droplet (3) into the not yet congealed base layer (2), wherein the at least one droplet (3) at least partially, preferably completely, penetrates into the base layer (2); fixing the base layer (2); and at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3).

Further, a second method having the following steps is disclosed: spraying on at least one droplet (3) onto the surface of the workpiece (1); applying a liquid base layer (2) onto the surface of the workpiece (1), wherein the base layer (2) flows around the at least one droplet (3) and preferably at least partially covers the at least one droplet (3); fixing the base layer (2); at least partially removing the at least one droplet (3).

Finally, a device for performing the methods is disclosed.

A method for processing a surface (2) of a workpiece (1) is disclosed. Besides, a device for performing the method is disclosed.
