Technical Specifications | 3D Molded Stereo HTV
3D Molded Stereo HTV uses high-performance eco-friendly TPU as its base material, achieving highly precise and controllable three-dimensional stereo effects through mechanical mold shaping. Minimum reproducible detail is 0.18mm fine lines with 300dpi minimum resolution, and durability is validated at ≥ Grade 4 wash fastness and ≥ Grade 4-5 rub fastness under controlled evaluation. For color-sensitive polyester programs, a practical check is ΔE* drift after accelerated laundering.

Process Steps
Process Steps for 3D Molded Stereo HTV
1. Design Preparation
Create or import your design using design software. Note: For best results, use vector graphics and ensure minimum detail is 0.18mm for optimal reproduction.
2. Cutting
Cut the design using a vinyl cutter with a 45° blade. Important: Adjust cutting pressure to avoid cutting through the carrier sheet.
3. Weeding
Remove excess vinyl from the design. Note: Use weeding tools for precise removal of small details.
4. Pre-Pressing
Pre-press the fabric at 311°F/150°C for 3-5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. Important: Allow fabric to cool before applying the design.
5. Heat Transfer
Apply the design to the fabric and heat press at 311°F/150°C for 10-15 seconds with medium pressure. Note: Use a heat press with even temperature distribution for best results.
6. Peel
Peel the carrier sheet either hot or cold according to your preference. Important: For best results, peel at a 45° angle to avoid distorting the design.
Key Features 3D Molded Stereo HTV
Key Features
1. Polyurethane Material
Offers superior quality and durability, ensuring a long-lasting finish. Field data shows ~15.3% improvement in wash resistance after 50+ cycles. Note: Store rolls in climate-controlled environments (15-25°C) to prevent material degradation.
2. Thick and Voluminous
Creates a 3D effect that adds depth and interest to designs. The foam layer expands 3-5× thickness during thermal activation, reaching 1.0-1.5mm elevation. Important: Calibrate heat press temperature to 150-160°C for consistent expansion.
3. Cubic Effect
Provides a clean and classy look, enhancing the visual appeal of garments. The precision CNC mold shaping achieves dimensional accuracy within ±0.05mm, ensuring crisp edges. Warning: Perform weekly mold maintenance to prevent debris accumulation.
