01 / Overview

Surface treatment technology is a very important technique in the field of industrial manufacturing, which can improve the quality, performance, and appearance of product surfaces. Matte: By grinding or sandpaper, small scratches are created on the surface of an object to create a uniform matte effect. Polishing: Using mechanical or chemical means to remove fine bumps and oxide layers from the surface of an object, making it smooth and shiny. Drawing: By the action of mechanical force, metal materials produce longitudinal patterns, thereby increasing the beauty and texture of the product. Electroplating: Using the principle of electrolysis, a thin film of metal or alloy is deposited on the surface of an object to improve the corrosion resistance, conductivity, and appearance quality of the product. Sun pattern: a unique visual effect created on the surface of a product through special patterns and textures. Spray paint: Spray paint or pigment onto the surface of a product to enhance its color and decorative effect. Laser engraving: Carving on the surface of an object using laser technology.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Surface treatment process is an important technology that can improve the quality, performance, and appearance of product surfaces. 1. Matte: By grinding or sandpaper, small scratches are created on the surface of an object to form a uniform matte effect. This process is commonly used for materials such as metals and plastics. 2. Polishing: By mechanical or chemical means, remove the subtle bumps and oxide layers on the surface of an object, making it smooth and shiny. Polishing is widely used in products made of materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. 3. Wire drawing: By the action of mechanical force, the metal material produces longitudinal patterns, thereby increasing the beauty and texture of the product. Common brushed products include brushed stainless steel pipes, brushed aluminum plates, etc. 4. Electroplating: Using the principle of electrolysis, a thin film of metal or alloy is deposited on the surface of an object to improve the corrosion resistance, conductivity, and appearance quality of the product. Common electroplating methods include chrome plating, nickel plating, gold plating, etc. 5. Sun drying pattern: a type of pattern on the surface of a product.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
