Application Selection Checks
The application cards identify the product type. Use this table to confirm layout, surface, use environment and the main purchase risk before opening the detailed guide.
| Application | Layout / Surface to Confirm | Use Environment | Key Purchase Check | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domed Decals | Regular sheets, mixed designs, print shift, holes or cutouts | Indoor branding, outdoor decals or flexible products | Confirm whether fixtures can control placement before paying for CCD. | View guide |
| Domed Nameplates | Metal, plastic or film surface; holes, cutouts and surface finish | Indoor equipment, appliances or outdoor machinery | Test surface adhesion, fixture stability and edge design on the finished substrate. | View guide |
| Domed Industrial Labels | Label edge, control-panel layout, printed reference and overlay flatness | Handling, chemicals, heat, UV or outdoor exposure | Confirm readability, adhesion and environmental resistance on a complete printed sample. | View guide |
| Automotive Emblems | Flat or curved mounting surface, free placement and fixture method | Outdoor UV, temperature changes, washing and impact | Test curvature, adhesion and aging; polyurethane is a candidate, not an automatic answer. | View guide |
| Domed Badges | Individual pieces or fixture sheets; metal finish, pins and raised edges | Indoor wear, outdoor exposure or frequent handling | Confirm surface treatment, resin hardness or flexibility and fixture repeatability. | View guide |
| Domed Keychains | Acrylic, metal or PVC parts; individual loading or repeat fixtures | Frequent handling, impact, bending or outdoor use | Check edge distance, adhesion, impact behavior and whether manual loading limits output. | View guide |
| Promotional Products | Changing shapes, mixed batches, tokens, gifts and branded inserts | Depends on material, handling and campaign use | Confirm changeover time, layout variation and sample quality before choosing automation. | View guide |
Choose a Machine by Production Need
Use production stage and positioning risk as a second filter after choosing the product application.
Samples / Changing Products
Semi-Auto Doming Machine
Start with semi-auto when: products change often, sample validation matters and output pressure is still low.
- Lower initial investment
- Flexible for trials and small batches
- Watch out: output depends on operator rhythm
Regular Repeat Sheets
3-Axis Automatic Doming Machine
Start with 3-axis when: sheet layouts, product spacing and fixtures can repeat reliably.
- Desktop platform for limited space or budget
- DJ771 for larger regular sheets
- Watch out: mixed placement may need CCD
Positioning Risk
CCD Vision-Guided Doming Machine
Start with CCD when: mixed placement, holes, cutouts or print shift create measurable alignment rejects.
- Camera recognition must pass a sample test
- Useful when fixtures cannot control variation
- Watch out: regular sheets: compare lower-cost 3-axis unless vision alignment is needed.
Four Checks That Change the Application Setup
These checks determine which application guide, machine path and resin test should come next.
Layout & Positioning
Regular sheets, mixed placement, holes, cutouts and print shift require different positioning methods.
Decision:
Use repeat fixtures for stable sheets; compare CCD only when placement variation creates real reject risk.
Resin Flow & Bubbles
Viscosity, trapped air, mixing and degassing affect edge hold, clarity and usable output.
Decision:
Confirm resin type, mixing and degassing needs with the real product sample.
Curing & Edge Control
Dome height, resin volume, surface flatness and curing conditions affect overflow and incomplete curing.
Decision:
Test target dome height, edge distance and curing behavior before fixing the production setup.
Use Environment & Flexibility
Outdoor exposure, impact, bending and surface material can change the resin and adhesion requirements.
Decision:
Compare epoxy and polyurethane by the real environment, then verify adhesion and aging on complete samples.
Continue From Application to Machine, Resin or Testing
After identifying the product application, use these four factors to choose the correct next decision page.
What Changes the Setup
Confirm these factors before treating one machine or resin as the default choice.
Product & Layout
Product material, sheet arrangement, holes, cutouts and surface flatness affect the positioning method.
Production Stage
Samples, repeat sheets and mature high-risk orders justify different automation levels.
Positioning Risk
Use CCD for measurable placement variation, not simply because a product looks complex or premium.
Resin & Use Environment
Material, flexibility, UV exposure, impact and curing conditions determine the resin test.

FAQ About Resin Doming Applications
Which resin doming application is most suitable for my product?
It depends on your product type, material, layout, production volume and use environment. Simple flat decals and badges can usually start with semi-auto or 3-axis doming. Regular sheet layouts often fit a desktop 3-axis upgrade or DJ771 floor-standing 3-axis automation, while mixed layouts, holes, cutouts or high-positioning-risk products may need CCD vision.
Can one doming machine handle different products such as decals, nameplates, badges and keychains?
Yes. Many resin doming machines can handle different applications as long as the dispensing path, fixture, resin type and dome height are adjusted correctly. A 3-axis automatic machine is suitable for regular sheets and repeatable layouts. For mixed shapes, free placement or high-precision positioning, a CCD vision-guided machine is usually a better choice.
How do I choose between semi-auto, 3-axis automatic and CCD vision-guided machines?
For low-volume production, simple products or budget-sensitive projects, a semi-auto doming machine is usually enough. For regular sheet production and medium to high volume, a 3-axis automatic doming machine offers better efficiency and consistency. For mixed layouts, free placement, curved surfaces or high-precision work, a CCD vision-guided machine is usually the better choice.
Should I use epoxy resin or polyurethane resin for my application?
Epoxy resin is suitable for many indoor applications where high clarity, hardness and scratch resistance are important. Polyurethane resin is usually better for outdoor use, curved surfaces and products that require UV resistance, flexibility or impact resistance. The final choice should be confirmed based on your product material, use environment and sample testing result.
Do I need sample testing before buying a doming machine?
Sample testing is strongly recommended, especially for new products or outdoor applications. Testing helps confirm resin compatibility, dome height, edge control, curing behavior, bubble control and final appearance. You can send product photos, design files or physical samples, and we will provide a machine + resin recommendation based on the test result.
