Limitations and Considerations

The creation of molds and stamping tools for Hot/SoftEmbossing can be complex, especially for intricate designs. This may result in longer lead times and higher initial costs.
Hot/Soft Embossing is highly versatile, but the choice of materials should be carefully considered for compatibility with your application's specific requirements. Compatibility issues could affect chip performance.
Making significant design changes after molds are created can be challenging and costly. It's advisable to finalize your design before proceeding with Hot/Soft Embossing.
While Hot/Soft Embossing is efficient for small to medium batch sizes, it may not be as cost-effective for very high-volume production when compared to techniques like Injection Molding.
Ensuring consistent quality across all replicated chips requires meticulous control over the embossing process. Deviations in parameters can impact the final product.
