<p>A compression tool with a three-dimensional structure is used to press a metal foil(3) onto a supporting part(2). The level of press pressure is selected so that the tool structure is transferred through the metal foil into the supporting part to form a composite product(1). When a wood based panel forms the supporting part(2) an adhesive layer is applied between the metal foil(3) and the panel. An alternative non-wood based supporting part can be a polymer adhesive or resin layer. Pressing creates a regular or irregular structure, preferably a waveform or grooved structure. Metal foils may be anodized, coated or printed on the surface. An independent claim is included for a structured composite product comprising a supporting part and a metal foil and a three-dimensional structure(4) extends through the metal foil into the supporting part.</p> |
