Conforms to bezel, housing or injection
molded 3-dimensional surface
Tooling is usually much less expensive
than tooling for injection molding
Less expensive alternative to decorated
3-dimensional bezel, housing or injection
molded options
Metallic look can be achieved with brushed,
bright or spun finish (or combination
of methods)

A deep draw requires use of a dead soft
aluminum which is not available in bright
finishes.
Lead time on tooling may be extended
for large formed dimensions
Zoned adhesives occasionally required
for attachment, increasing assembly costs
Tight radii and corners may extend lead
times
