All plastic injection molded parts have a surface texture created by the tools that made them. To get the surface finish and texture that you want, it’s important for you to understand how we make and measure such finishes.
In this episode you will learn about:
- Sanding and Polishing
- EDM Spark Erosion
- Media Blasting
- Chemical Photoetching
- Laser Etching
This series is specifically catered to professionals interested in engineering, manufacturing, product design and product development.

I’m curious to know the standard names of the texture patterns showed at 4:03, can you let me know please? Thanks!
I love that you actually take the constructive criticism you’re given here and on Reddit to improve your videos. Keep up the great work and always remember, constant improvement is the engineering philosophy.
As ardent followers of Kaizen, we absolutely agree with you. Thank you :)
they have a reddit? i couldent find it
One of the best channels on YT. I always learn something new with each film. Great job, keep it up :)
Thank you for your support :)
Extremely Useful to those who are new this craftmanship. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video
Our pleasure :)
Love it! Quick and concise expert information. Thanks you Serious Engineers!
Thank you Paul. There's more to come. Stay tuned :)
Very educational. I always wondered how this was done.
Honestly, I'm excited for each new upload! Thanks again Gordon and Star Rapid team

Excellent 👌
Thank you :)
This guy is an amazing host!
Yeah, indeed. I knew him for many years.
Thank you !!
Thanks for watching :)
nICE ONE!
Hi, are MK lighters slip guard skin applied using surface texture on mold injection
How can calculate draft angle of a grain depth in required percentage?
When is the texure applied? Is it before anti corrosion coating or after that?
Great video thank you, I am new in CNC machining, please can you tell me if I can make the texture by micro milling cutter?
We will reply to this soon.
@@starrapid thank you very much sir
What spray masking do you recommend for chemical etching? (Not looking for tape options)
Even if you use a spray mask you still have to tape it underneath, tape masking overall is cheaper and works about the same
how to achieve matte finish in the mold without any texture?
What would be the best method to add texture on top of a mid sole to a sandal made of EVA?
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?
@@starrapid also, do you guys do this? I’m looking to manufacture my own sandal out of EVA, are you guys located in the US?
As a technician that adds texture to molds, servicing the southeast. Please reply back if in need of service
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
Excellent. Thanks for the response.
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
What kind of acid to make graining ?
Ferric Chloride works well with most metals and is forgiving.
Thanks for the response :)
Where are you guys located?
Hi there, our factory is located in Zhongshan, China, and we have representatives in the US, UK, Australia, and Germany
@@starrapid Awesome - thank you. I'm based in the US and have a new plastic product for the new year. I'll email you with details.
@@samueldavie1772 Fantastic. Looking forward to receiving those details!
Me ensina a fazer textura porfavor?
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.
Sir blue pigment name sir iam in chennai sir
Hi. What blue pigment are you referring to? Can you point us to a time stamp?
