Abstract
A computing component is described. The computing component includes a cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material may have a cosmetic surface and a protrusion surface. The computing component includes a protrusion extending from the protrusion surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material is uniform in appearance to the naked eye. In some embodiments, the protrusion may have a base and an end. The base may have a cross-sectional width and the end may have a cross-sectional width. A difference in the cross-sectional width of the base and the cross-sectional width of the end may be less than 250 microns.
