3DF allows a world of design possibilities: customized deep structures, elegant arcs and curves. Technical and functional aspects such as screw head immersions and embedded handles are also possible with a single operation. The specific formulation of 3DF allows that with the action of temperature and pressure it can be shaped, and different final densities and thicknesses can be achieved according to project needs.
The surface achieved after compression is perfect for lacquering and powder coating. In the compression process the surfacing material, such as flexible CPL, foil and venner, can also be included achieving a final decorative product in one single step. The product gives you design freedom to projects combined with the advantages of a sustainable and controlled wood based panel with very low formaldehyde emissions.
Whether it’s applied in furniture fronts, doors, seats, wall panelling or in other applications 3DF presents several advantages when compared to the alternatives.
In fact, its moulding properties allow to get deep and complex structures and curve shapes on a faster and more productive way than with other materials.
This productivity improvement happens not only due to low cycle times needed to process 3DF but also due to the non requirement of a cooling step after moulding.
Also the moulding process associated to 3DF processing presents advantages when compared to the conventional methods normally used to achieve the same structures: the compression moulding process ensures a dust free environment and virtually eliminates the generated waste, while at the same time delivers a highly compressed smooth surface, perfect for lacquering.
