Abstract
Uniquely decorated devices may be manufactured using high speed production equipment. In one approach, a master piece of artwork is selected. For each decorated part to be fabricated, a portion of the master artwork is selected. Image data for the portion of the master artwork is input to a manufacturing tool, such as a laser etch machine. The manufacturing tool may process each part to have a representation of its corresponding portion of the artwork, resulting in plural parts that each has a unique cosmetic appearance.
