DTX Prototyping Textures give manufacturers and designers a faster, more realistic way to evaluate texture before moving into production. By directly transferring a digital texture image onto a part or workpiece, DTX helps create prototypes with true visual and tactile character, including realistic shape, feel, and 3-D texture effects.

Unlike flatter prototype methods, DTX prototyping can produce more natural-looking textures with domed edges and a more production-like appearance. Because the process is digitally driven, texture designs can be adjusted, refined, and duplicated with a high degree of accuracy, helping teams communicate concepts more clearly and make decisions with greater confidence.

DTX prototyping helps reduce the time and uncertainty often involved in texture development. It gives product designers, mold makers, and manufacturers the ability to review texture appearance earlier in the process, make revisions more efficiently, and move closer to production with fewer surprises. Durable UV-curable materials also help support prototypes that look better and hold up well during evaluation.
