Even if you use a spray mask you still have to tape it underneath, tape masking overall is cheaper and works about the same

What would be the best method to add texture on top of a mid sole to a sandal made of EVA?

@starrapid 2 жыл бұрын

You should put the texture into the aluminium mold that is used to make the EVA Midsole.

@@starrapid So the STL file I have of my sandal, I should get a 3D designer to add tread to it so that then the manufacturer can turn that into the mold? Even if the tread is very small?

i have a question. When samblasting a mold continuosly, it could damage the texture or increase the cavities in dimensions? I am sorry for my inglish. Thank so mouch

you are correct, but light pressure and a fine grit can be a great way to clean texture. .0002

Sandblasting can damage a mold but only at high pressures and with the unskilled sandblaster. also using the right media aluminum oxide mixed with glass beads is standard

Hi. That's what this video is for. It tells you how we make textures in injection Molded parts. É para isso que serve este vídeo. Ele informa como fazemos texturas em peças moldadas por injeção.
