With Fabric FX masterbatch and a textured mold surface, manufacturers have a drop-in solution to design novel parts that appear to be covered in textiles. There is no limit on colors that can be used to create the fabric look. While the effect is most visible on light colored parts, the appearance of dark parts is also enhanced.
