Application range and material selection guide for VSS method! Comparison with TOM method.
Which 3D embellishment method should you choose? Experts explain the strengths of the VSS method and the selection criteria.
There are several methods for film decoration on 3D molded products, such as TOM, in-mold transfer, and VSS (Vacuum Simultaneous Stretching), but the optimal method varies depending on the part shape, material, and required quality. The VSS method, which Yoshida Techno Works specializes in, involves simultaneously stretching a thermoplastic film into a three-dimensional shape through vacuum, pressure, and heating, adhering and bonding it to the surface of the molded product. It has advantages over the TOM method for deep-drawn shapes and for decoration on non-thermoplastic substrates such as CFRP and metal. This article will explain the principles of the VSS method, its benefits, a comparison with the TOM method, and points for material selection.
