Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to mark the surface of a molded article more specifically to a method to be used as an anti-counterfeit device. The method provides for a molded article with a surface comprising a special mark that is visible under certain conditions and not visible under other conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for designing a plastic article having a desired appearance. The process includes having a desired appearance and then obtaining fabrication parameters from the set of virtual article parameters. The present invention can include steps for characterizing an appearance of a target article (target article appearance) and then fitting virtual article parameters to the target article appearance.
