3D glass × metal × decoration integrated in the same process | Seamless GIM
Zero gaps between glass and resin. Integrated molding of glass, metal, and in-mold elements in one process.
In the glass bonding to the resin frame, it was not possible to achieve zero "gaps," and due to the dimensional variations in the glass, a seamless appearance could not be realized in the subsequent bonding process. We established a unique method that aligns the 3D shape of the glass with the shape of the mold for insert molding, simultaneously implementing metal inserts and in-mold decoration during the molding process. This method achieves the insertion of three different materials: glass, metal, and in-mold (decoration) in the same molding process. We developed a unique mold mechanism that absorbs the individual differences (dimensional variations) of the glass, realizing a seamless sealing structure without the need for tape and enabling larger screen sizes. There is a proven track record of being adopted in ultra-high-end premium smartphones.
