Abstract
A marked article includes a substrate including a first surface and a surface material, a raised pad on the first surface, the raised pad including a second surface, and a design on the raised pad. The raised pad is formed on the first surface using a material addition process to prevent mechanical stress from being propagated from the raised pad to the substrate in response to the design being formed on the raised pad.
Claims10
A marked article, comprising:
- a substrate including a first surface and a surface material comprising a first elastic modulus;
- a raised pad formed on the first surface and comprising a first layer and a second layer, the first layer comprises a first material comprising a second elastic modulus, and the second layer comprises a second material comprising a third elastic modulus and
- a design on the raised pad on the first layer of the raised pad,
- wherein the raised pad is formed on the first surface by applying the first material to the first surface to form the first layer using a first material addition process and applying the second material to the first layer to form the second layer using a second material addition process;
- wherein the first elastic modulus is greater than the second elastic modulus, and the third elastic modulus is greater than the second elastic modulus.
