This application is relatively new to the plastics industry. Using IMD, multiple colors and graphics can be added in a single operation. The basics for IMD are as follows:
1.A polycarbonate (PC/PET/ACRYLIC) film is printed with the graphics
of your choice.
2.This PC film is thermoformed to the exact shape of your part.
3.The film is then trimmed of excess material leaving a thin replica
of the part exterior.
4.The formed film is placed into the cavity of the mold.
5.Plastic (PC/PC+ABS/ACRYLIC/ABS) is injected behind the film to add
rigidity and function.
Several advantages are a permanent graphic image, thin wall
capabilities, backlighting, etc.
With complete inhouse IMD process from screen printing, high-pressure thermal vacuum forming, trimming to insert molding including all associated tooling design and fabrication. |
