Molded Surface & Color Sample Review
Plan appearance samples around resin, texture, gloss and the agreed conditions for comparing parts.
Define the appearance target
Identify the visible areas and supply a physical reference or agreed visual specification. Specify where gloss, texture or translucency may vary between surfaces.
Compare samples under agreed conditions
Use the same viewing conditions and comparable resin and geometry. Review whether thickness, nearby surfaces or assembly affect the way color and finish are seen.
Keep an approved reference
Label the accepted sample with the resin grade, color reference and drawing revision. Record the acceptance method before deciding whether it can be used for the next trial or production review.
Frequently asked questions
Can a color chip replace a molded sample?
It can guide color selection. Confirm final appearance on representative molded geometry when wall thickness, texture or assembly can affect the visual result.
Can I review more than one finish?
Describe the finishes and what decision the comparison should support. Agree on which sample or test surface can represent each finish before the trial.
