Laser Etching

Etching into the leather surface to achieve simple to complex designs.

Benefits

  • Can be layered and registered with other technologies
  • Different construction options add to the design details (tonal, contrast, metallic)
  • Great for creating logos

Laser Etching for Surface Materials

Laser etching is ideal for adding subtle branding elements, such as logos, monograms, or model names, directly onto the seat fabric or leather. This effect can add a tactile quality to the seats, enriching the sensory experience of the interior and differentiating it from standard flat upholstery.

By etching different designs into leather a subtle contrast in light and texture is created. This contrast gives the seats a multi-dimensional look without needing additional materials, appealing to a minimalist yet high-end design aesthetic. Laser etching can be used to emphasize the natural contours of the seats by adding patterns along specific sections, like bolsters, headrests, or center panels. This technique highlights the seat’s shape and complements its ergonomic design.

Laser etching is a contactless process that does not require extra inks or dyes, which can reduce waste and environmental impact. This method aligns well with sustainability initiatives, as it minimizes the need for added materials and energy-intensive processes.
