Provided is a decorative sheet which combines an excellent touch with design attractiveness. The decorative sheet comprises a base layer, a protrusion layer partly disposed, and a first resin layer in this order, in which the first resin layer contains a matting agent and the layer of protrusions contains particles.

LAYER ARRANGEMENT WITH 3D STRUCTURE AND 2D PROJECTION OF SAID STRUCTURE

The present invention relates to a layer arrangement, having: a foil layer (100) provided with optical information, and a three-dimensionally structured layer (200) having a smooth side (210) and a structured side (220) opposite the smooth side (210), wherein the structured side (220) has at least one face (230) which is not coplanar with the smooth side (210) and faces a previously defined reference location (400), and the structured side (220) has at least one face (235) which is not coplanar with the smooth side (210) and faces away from the previously defined reference location (400). The three-dimensionally structured layer (200) is formed by a thermoplastic polymer which has an optical haze Ty (D65/10°) according to ASTM D1003 of ≥10% with a layer thickness of 4 mm. The foil layer (100) provided with optical information is connected to the structured side (220) of the three-dimensionally structured layer (200). The foil layer (100) provided with optical information is printed with at least one part of a two-dimensional projection (500) of the three-dimensionally structured layer (200), and the projection (520) of the at least one face (230) facing the reference location (400) is shown differently on the foil layer (100) provided with optical information than the projection (530) of the at least one face (235) facing away from the reference location (400).

A method for coating a plastic injection-molded article with the transfer film, as well as the transfer film and the plastic injection-molded article.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OBTAINING A RAISED PATTERN ON A SUBSTRATE
20220024113 · 2022-01-27 ·

A method for obtaining a raised pattern on a substrate and to the device used, wherein the method includes the following steps of moving a substrate having one face; supplying a with a first face; projecting onto the first face a raised-pattern product using digital printing technology so as to generate a positive raised pattern on the first face; fixing the positive raised pattern on the film; applying an overlay product; obtaining a negative raised pattern on the overlay product by contact with the positive raised pattern; and fixing the negative raised pattern on the face of the substrate.

Additive manufactured multi-colored wall panel
11174636 · 2021-11-16 ·

This invention is an additively manufactured wall panel using computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) to design and manufacture multi-colored and multi-layered wall panels. This results in a variety of highly attractive, multi-colored wall panel faces ranging from brick, colored grout lines and multi-colored stones to multi-colored geometric designs. The design and manufacturing process greatly reduces the amount of precast cementitious materials by efficiently using higher quality materials. This reduces cost and weight while simultaneously producing a much more comprehensive, multi-functional wall panel complete with an interior frame, exterior insulation and an air, vapor and moisture barriers.

Decoration sheet having discontinuous lenticular lens

The present invention relates to a decoration sheet to be applied to an exterior material for electric home appliances or electronic devices. The decoration sheet includes a pattern layer having lenticular lenses arranged in multiple rows, wherein at least one of the multiple rows has one or more discontinuous lens sections in which the lenticular lens is not continuous, thereby reducing poor visibility and enhancing productivity; and the discontinuous lens sections can be arranged to implement a character, a pattern, or the like, thereby expressing a sense of pattern. Further, the decoration sheet has an adhesive layer formed on the other surface thereof and thus can function to prevent the scattering of a surface of glass or the like onto which the decoration sheet is attached.

Methods of making surface materials with embedded images
11760116 · 2023-09-19 ·

The disclosure relates to methods of manufacturing surface materials for construction or manufacturing use and the surface materials produced by such methods. Substrate materials, such as synthetic or engineered stone or fiber-reinforced resinous panels, can be formed in conventional ways such as casting, molding, or pressing. Layers are printed onto substrate materials to form textures, which may include inks to selectively color the printed texture, thereby enabling a wide variety of high-resolution appearances. A clear, protective topcoat is then applied to the surface materials and cured to provide a finished material.
