Generation of patterns, shapes, text and images using powder coating.
Typical applications are flat facade panels or folded trays, feature walls, signage and similar. Suitable for external architectural design or interior design use.
Freeform™ is an exclusive process developed using techniques perfected over 20 years. Freeform allows the transfer of images from photos, patterns, writing, sketches or any 2D format, to be realized in powder coating and has significant advantages over laminate.
