  • Publication number: 20220032594
    Abstract: A method for forming of a building panel with a surface including a thermosetting resin such that tension created during curing of the surface is reduced or eliminated. Method for producing a panel with a wood based core and a surface layer including a thermosetting resin wherein the method including: curing and connecting the surface layer to the core while applying heat and pressure in a first main pressing step, thus raising a temperature of the surface layer above an initial temperature; applying a bending force on the panel after the first main pressing step to bend the panel such that an uppermost surface of the panel is convex an a lowermost surface of the panel is concave while the panel is still above the initial temperature; and releasing the bending force such that the panel springs back to an essentially flat shape.

  • Patent number: 11014378
    Abstract: A method of forming a digital embossing on a surface by bonding hard press particles to a carrier. A liquid binder pattern is applied on the carrier by a digital drop application head. Hard press particles are applied on the carrier and the binder pattern such that some hard press particles are bonded to the carrier by the liquid pattern and non-bonded press particles are removed. The carrier with the bonded hard press particles is pressed to the surface and an embossing is formed when the carrier with the hard press particles is removed.
