The appearance of a SMC product and how it feels to the touch are key elements of a successful design and in many cases strongly influence the user\u2019s attraction to the product. In this second Design Guide in our new series, you can find out how to achieve the highest quality finish on SMC parts and discover how state-of-the-art coating technologies can deliver significant cost savings over conventional processes.<\/p>\n<p>SMC and BMC are increasingly used in a broad range of end-use applications and markets. The European Alliance for SMC BMC\u2019s new series of design guides explain to designers how these versatile materials can be used, and converted into parts in larger production series.<\/p>\n<p>A full range of SMC finishing options is available today, ranging from high-gloss, Class A finishes superior to painted metal, to matt and novel textured surfaces. In this guide, we show manufacturers how selecting the right SMC formulation and following best practice design, manufacturing and finishing procedures the aesthetic quality of a painted SMC surface can match, and even exceed, that of a painted metal surface. You will also discover how the latest in-mold coating technologies can deliver significant cost savings over conventional spray processes.
