An exemplary system for manufacturing a decorated polycarbonate sheet can include a mold (102, 202), which has a surface (104, 204) and a three-dimensional pattern (106, 206) formed on the surface (104, 204), such that the three-dimensional pattern (106, 206) resembles a machined metal surface. A substrate (118, 218) can be configured to contact a curable photopolymer (120, 220), such that the curable photopolymer (120, 220) forms a curable layup (122, 222) disposed between the substrate (118, 218) and the mold (102, 202). A light source can be configured to cure the curable layup (122, 222) so as to form a cured layup (128, 228). The mold (102, 202) can be configured to be separated from the cured layup (128, 228), and the cured layup (128, 228) can have a decorative surface texture (108, 208) corresponding with the three-dimensional pattern (106, 206), such that the decorative surface finish mirrors the three-dimensional pattern (106, 206) resembling the machined metal surface. |
