The first stage is to design the mold/die cast for the CNC mold engraving
machine. This is the stage where we use your artwork to create a mold/die cast
design. Once the vector artwork is ready, a copper plate according is
loaded into the CNC engraving machine and your artwork is engraved on the copper
plates by making cavities in the copper plate.
In the second stage PVC material is injected layer by layer into the
cavities forming different elements of the design. Each layer is baked and then
cooled and then the second layer is added and again baked and cooled.
If there is a third or fourth layer the same process is repeated till the final
baking of the base layer which is usually the background of the PVC patch in
most designs.
In the third stage the PVC material that had been injected in the
mold/die cast, after being baked off and cooled off is then manually removed
from the mold/die cast in one piece to form colorful and vibrant pvc
patches. Learn

FACE

In contrast to 2D, 3D PVC involves levels and edges that are sculpted, creating a distinct three-dimensional effect that enhances both specific design elements and the overall design.

GLOW IN THE DARK
Photo luminescent powder is infused into the color pigment of the PVC patches, providing them with a vibrant afterglow.
