Patterned composite product

This invention describes a way to create a composite material with a decorative pattern integrated into its surface. It works by pressing together a porous base, a sheet of liquid plastic, and a patterned sheet that allows the plastic to flow through. When the plastic cures, the pattern becomes substantially embedded within the outer plastic skin of the product.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in digital fabrication techniques for creating intricate patterned sheets and improved curable resin formulations could make embedding complex designs more precise and cost-effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
