Our technologies: MICRO MILLING™

Melaco’s innovative MICRO MILLING™ technology brings a new quality to interior woodwork. If you are looking for a way to create furniture that is not only functional, but also unique and perfectly tailored to your designs, this technology is the answer. It allows any furniture manufacturer to create the most complex and original designs.

MICRO MILLING™ technology is based on the precise machining of the surface of furniture fronts covered with polymer foil. The fronts are made of Melaco’s COMPLETE SKIN furniture panel, described below. The processing consists of micro-milling the outer layer of the film, which allows for attractive visual effects. Thanks to advanced high-precision aggregates and specialised software, it is possible to reproduce accurately various motifs, from simple lines to more complex ornaments. In the production process, we use polymer films from the MELACO production range and, on special request, we can use other colours specified by the customer, allowing the product to be fully personalised.

Furniture fronts with MICRO MILLING™ technology therefore feature decorations in two selected colours. In this way, it is possible to combine a favourite wood grain with, for example, black milling. The products also feature high resistance to moisture and temperature and are easy to clean, which will certainly be appreciated by future furniture users. In addition, the technology is not only used for fronts, but also for decorative panels, wardrobe doors, table tops and many other interior applications.

What are the benefits of this technology for furniture manufacturers? MICRO MILLING™ offers a low product cost compared to fronts manufactured on black coloured MDF while maintaining high strength parameters.

MELAFOL 3D furniture fronts and elements made using this technology offer a wide range of decorative possibilities in furniture production. Thanks to them, any furniture manufacturer can create furniture with fronts with the most refined appearance and an interesting three-dimensional effect. Geometric patterns, wavy reliefs or honeycomb structures – the possibilities are endless. Combined with a wide range of colours and motifs, MELAFOL fronts offer enormous design possibilities.

One of our bestsellers, produced on our CNC machining centres, is the Wave + Kalcite handleless fronts in various colours, shown below:

In this state-of-the-art technology, PUR reactive adhesive is evenly applied to chipboard or MDF and then coated with a polymer film (PVC, PP, PET). The result of this bonding process is not only a perfectly finished surface of the furniture components, but also a durable joint that is resistant to moisture and high temperatures. All this means that COMPLETE SKIN furniture components can also be used to make furniture for such demanding rooms as the kitchen or bathroom.

The processes available to Melaco also allow the edges of the components to be finished on one or both sides using POSTFORMING technology, giving the edges of the panel an elegant finish without a visible joint. What sets us apart from the competition is that our advanced technology allows us to finish narrow, elongated edges at the same time. This gives an elegant finish to the board without a visible joint. We also offer many types of edge profiling.
