Mold Tech is a collection of surface finishes for injection molded components, including geometric, organic, and natural patterned textures. A Mold Tech Texture Book (MT Texture Book), like the one below, contains “plaques” as samples of these textures: This dataset is a measurement of the Mold Tech MT-1055-1 surface. The finer textures like this were … Read more
Mold Tech is a collection of surface finishes for injection molded components, including geometric, organic, and natural patterned textures. A Mold Tech Texture Book (MT Texture Book), like the one below, contains “plaques” as samples of these textures: These finer Mold-Tech datasets were measured with a Zygo ZeGage optical profiler. Other datasets in the series, … Read more

GE 8651831G1 roughness specimens have been (historically) very popular in the measurement of surface texture. They show up in a lot of places… in documents and standard operating procedures, as well as for sale on eBay and industrial supply resellers. Many of these specimens have been in use for a long, long time and definitely … Read more
Mold Tech is a collection of surface finishes for injection molded components, including geometric, organic, and natural patterned textures. A Mold Tech Texture Book (MT Texture Book), like the one below, contains “plaques” as samples of these textures: These datasets were measured with a GelSight Tactile Sensing system, which is a fast measurement solution for … Read more
Textured plastics are often controlled using visual/tactile comparison to texture card samples like this one: This plastic surface texture card is based on the VDI 3400 texture reference, which is used for controlling the surface finish of injection molds and the plastic parts they generate for applications in automotive, aircraft, electronics, and consumer goods. Other, … Read more
