  3. An overview • A backlit electronic device manufacturer approached us for an overlay solution with certain requirements. • The client raised a challenge, and our job was to find a solution with a reduced delivery schedule. • They need a combination of opacity and translucency to create a specific backlit graphic. www.melrosesystems.com

  4. The challenge • Find a local source to support lead time requirements and as a technical resource to prevent light leaks and other optics issues when the part is lit. • Also, to ensure materials and quality of finished parts meet the handling requirements as this is an actively used device. • Materials to be selected for durability, resistance to cleaning solutions, and hard-coated for abrasion resistance. www.melrosesystems.com

  5. Our solution • Melrose was able to strike the perfect balance of strong opaque print features with the translucency requirements to bring this design to life. • For this purpose, we utilized a combination of engineered materials, screen printed inks, and customer-supplied light source. • Providing a local resource to the client also allowed for quick in-person collaboration to fine-tune the details and hit all the key attributes for the final part design. www.melrosesystems.com

  6. Key Elements Used In The Project • High Optical Clarity, Hard Coated Abrasion-Resistant Clear Film • Screen Printing to Manage Light Transmission, Diffusion, and Isolation • High Power CNC Laser Cutting and Digital Knife Cutting Presses to fabricate within a compressed amount of time, eliminating the lead time associated with hard tooling, and allowing design iteration for maximum flexibility www.melrosesystems.com

  7. Result • The client received an overlay solution for a backlit electronic device. • At Melrose, we believe that solving problems and bringing unique solutions to our clients is imperative to creating value beyond the cost of the part.
