COMPONENT WITH CUSTOMIZED EXTERIOR SURFACE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

A component with a customized exterior surface and a method and tool for manufacturing the same are provided. The component may be formed via a plastic forming process with a forming tool, such that it has a surface texture formed on its exterior surface. The forming tool has at least one tool surface, which defines a mold cavity. The tool surface has a textured layer coupled thereto, such that the textured layer directly contacts a moldable material supplied to the mold cavity. The textured layer has a surface texture formed thereon resulting in the surface texture present on the textured layer being transferred to and formed on the exterior surface of the component during forming. The textured layer may be changeable or replaceable with respect to the at least one tool surface, such that a single tool may form components with different surface textures formed on the exterior surface thereof. 提供种具有定制的外部表面的部件和利用成型工具制造该部件的方法和工具。该部件可以经由塑性成型工艺利用成型工具形成，使得其外部表面上形成表面纹理。该成型工具具有限定模腔的至少个工具表面。该工具表面具有耦接至其的纹理层，使得该纹理层直接接触
