Cutting-Edge Production Process
1.Base Material Preparation:
High-grade aluminum alloy(AA3003/AA5052)undergoes cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment.
2.Digital texture Transfer:
Advanced 3D scanning and nano-printing replicate natural stone veins onto the surface.
3.High-Temperature Curing:
PVDF or PE coatings are baked at 200ºC+ for weatherproof durability.
4.Precision Cutting:
CNC machines shape panels to millimeter-level accuracy for seamless installation.
5.Quality Assurance:
Rigorous tests for adhesion,hardness,and colorfastness ensure 20+years of service life.
