Abstract
The present invention provides a method of fabricating a mask for forming wood grain patterns, the method comprising: subjecting a metal plate to an etching process to process a selected pattern on the metal plate; producing a pattern sheet using the etched metal plate an a flexible sheet; attaching the produced pattern sheet to the surface of a product; and subjecting the product to an electroforming process to thereby fabricate the mask. With the method, the time and cost for production of the mask can be remarkably reduced.
Claims13
A method of fabricating a mask for forming wood grain patterns, which comprises the steps of:
- subjecting a metal plate to an etching process to form a selected pattern on the metal plate and thereby provide an etched metal plate;
- pressing a flexible sheet on the etched metal plate to transfer the selected pattern from the etched metal plate to the flexible sheet and removing the flexible sheet from the metal plate to form a pattern sheet;
- attaching the pattern sheet to a surface of a product;
- and
- subjecting the product to an electroforming process to thereby fabricate the mask.
