Research Topic 040 / 200
Material samples cannot represent production units.
Small panels behave differently than finished surfaces with actual curvature, texture, and seams.
Three-step solution method
- Build representative samples incorporating actual curvature, thickness, and joint locations.
- Review color, gloss, and texture under realistic lighting and at normal viewing distances for the complete product.
- Include approved samples and finish specifications in the development handover.
Key Deliverables
- Representative Samples
- CMF Specifications
- Approved Sample Records
Verification Approach
Check for appearance differences between samples, engineering prototypes, and production units.
