Dot Matrix Grayscale Imaging is a precision process that uses varying dot sizes, densities, and depths to recreate grayscale images directly on solid materials. Whether you’re aiming for subtle gradients or bold contrast, this technique transforms surfaces into striking visual features – especially when backlit.
Using CNC routing, laser engraving, or metal punching (depending on material), Dot Matrix patterns are created to simulate tones and shadows – no printing or film required. It’s a tactile, permanent way to render imagery that interacts beautifully with light.
Dot Matrix opens up a wide range of creative and functional applications:
From subtle gradients to bold contrasts, the design possibilities are endless.
While incredibly versatile, Dot Matrix Imaging has a few key parameters:
Resolution depends on material choice, panel size, and viewing distance. We’re here to help guide these choices to achieve the best visual output.
Getting started with Dot Matrix is simple. Our surfaceLAB team collaborates with you to:
Everything is built to spec, with careful attention to how your design will perform in its final environment.
