Overlay solution for a backlit electronic device

Materials to be selected for durability, resistance to cleaning solutions, and hard-coated for abrasion resistance.

Our Solution

Utilizing a combination of engineered materials, screen-printed inks, and a customer-supplied light source, Melrose was able to strike the perfect balance of strong opaque print features with the translucency requirements to bring this design to life. Providing a local resource to the client also allowed for quick in-person collaboration to fine-tune the details and hit all the key attributes for the final part design.

Key elements used in the project

• High Optical Clarity, Hardcoated Abrasion-Resistant Clear Film

• Screen Printing to Manage Light Transmission, Diffusion, and Isolation

• High-power CNC Laser Cutting and Digital Knife Cutting Presses to fabricate within a compressed amount of time, eliminating the lead time associated with hard tooling, and allowing design iteration for maximum flexibility

Result

The client received an overlay solution for a backlit electronic device. At Melrose, we believe that solving problems and bringing unique solutions to our clients is imperative to creating value beyond the cost of the part.
