In-mold molding is a decorative molding technology that involves sandwiching a film with a printed design (in-mold foil) between molds and transferring the design simultaneously during the molding process using the heat and pressure of injection molding. Compared to post-decoration, it allows for the efficient mass production of beautiful appearances and was developed in 1973 by Yoshida Technoworks, pioneering the technology worldwide. Since then, it has evolved into various applications, including double in-mold for simultaneous decoration on both sides, radio-transmitting tin-plated in-mold, indium in-mold, deep two-color molded in-mold, and glass insert in-mold that integrates glass and resin. We welcome inquiries regarding the selection of methods and applicability. [Download Materials & Inquiries] You can view the basic knowledge materials on in-mold from "Download."

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.

The in-mold decoration method is broadly divided into two types: "in-mold labeling (integrated molding with a label that leaves a film on the molded product)" and "in-mold transfer decoration (integrated molding that transfers only the thin film transfer layer to the resin)." If the characteristics and suitability of each are not correctly understood, there is a risk of quality issues or cost overruns after transitioning to mass production. In-mold labeling is a method that leaves a thick film on the molded product, excelling in wear resistance and decoration precision. In-mold transfer decoration is a method that transfers only the thin film transfer layer to the resin, resulting in no film residue and superior surface quality and optical properties. Yoshida Techno Works handles both methods in-house and proposes the optimal method based on part shape, production quantity, quality requirements, and cost targets.

In sheet metal insert molding, if the front and back of the sheet metal are mistakenly set during molding, it can lead to serious issues such as functional defects, appearance defects, and mold damage. A system that relies on manual setup and visual confirmation cannot completely prevent human errors during long hours of mass production. At Yoshida Techno Works, we have developed an in-house dedicated robot for the automatic transport of sheet metal to molds for mass production of exterior panels for electronic cigarettes, establishing a method that incorporates front and back detection cameras along the transport route. Sheet metal that is judged as NG (not good) by the camera's front and back determination is automatically eliminated, ensuring that only correctly oriented sheet metal is inserted into the mold. By integrating automatic transport and front/back detection, we achieve zero misinsertion while maintaining the pace of mass production. We also accommodate customization of robots and jigs according to the shape and size of the sheet metal.

In glass insert molding (GIM), even within standard values, variations in the thickness of the glass material can affect compatibility with the mold, leading to uneven molding pressure, glass breakage, and appearance defects. Yoshida Technoworks has established a method for mass production of GIM for Kyocera's JA83, where the thickness of the glass is classified in increments of 0.02mm, and rank management is implemented through weight selection. Furthermore, by associating the glass rank with the molding conditions for each mold number, variations within the same material are absorbed by the molding conditions, ensuring stable mass production quality. This method is particularly effective in improving yield for GIM products that use thin glass (1mm or less).

In vehicle-mounted CID (Center Information Display), it is required that the appearance of the molded resin frame surrounding the GIM glass matches the appearance of the housing (metal and paint). However, tuning the molded product to match the matte texture of aluminum die-cast or painted housings is quite challenging, and if there are discrepancies in appearance, a high-quality design cannot be achieved. Yoshida Techno Works has finely adjusted the gloss, texture, and color tone of IMD foil decoration, successfully achieving the tuning to match the matte appearance of the CID housing with the appearance of the molded frame in the DNP F40GIM (vehicle prototype). Through the combined optimization of film grade, molding conditions, and mold texture, stable appearance matching is realized even in mass production.

In smartphone and automotive display panels, an anti-fingerprint (AFP) function that minimizes the visibility of fingerprints is required; however, coating processes after molding can lead to increased steps and risks of poor adhesion. Yoshida Technoworks has established a method to impart AFP functionality simultaneously with molding by incorporating water and oil repellent components into the surface film (surface foil) in the double in-mold process. Since the coating process is unnecessary, this achieves simplification of subsequent processes and cost reduction, while the surface foil is integrated with the resin, providing excellent adhesion and abrasion resistance. There is a track record of mass production applied to BC7/VG4 cover lenses, and the formulation of the water and oil repellent components in the surface foil can be customized according to your requirements.

Large, thin-walled cover lenses and resin panels are prone to warping and distortion during the cooling process after molding, which can lead to assembly defects and appearance issues. Traditional sampling three-dimensional measurements made it difficult to guarantee the entire production. Yoshida Techno Works has developed a dedicated measurement fixture with multiple non-contact displacement sensors to quantitatively acquire and manage coordinate data (warping amount) for all molded products. The measurement data is recorded and stored on a lot basis and is also used for feedback to optimize molding conditions. This initiative has significantly reduced the risk of defective products with shape issues leaking out and has eradicated assembly defects in subsequent processes.

In cover lenses and automotive exterior panels, light stability that prevents yellowing and appearance deterioration due to long-term UV exposure is required. Yoshida Techno Works has established a method to incorporate UV-absorbing components into the surface film (surface foil) in the double in-mold process, granting light stability functionality simultaneously with molding. Since post-molding painting and coating processes are unnecessary, we achieve process reduction and cost reduction while passing light stability tests. In addition to our application results for BC7/VG4 cover lenses for Fujitsu Plastics/Rhythm Shoei, we also have a track record of proposing and passing tests for weather-resistant foils for automotive parts (K0F) for Honda Motor Co.

Are you struggling with the adhesive strength of glass falling below standard values during the bonding process after GIM (Glass In-Mold) molding, affecting the stability of mass production quality? Applying adhesive to the side (cross-section) of the glass can lead to variability in uniformity due to the complex shape, often resulting in insufficient bonding area, which is a common cause of inadequate strength. Our company has introduced a dedicated robot capable of uniformly applying adhesive around the entire circumference of the glass side, precisely controlling the amount, position, and speed of application to stabilize the bonding area and quality. As a result, we have successfully resolved adhesive strength issues for GIM waterproof products at the mass production quality level. We look forward to consultations from manufacturers seeking to improve the waterproof performance and adhesive reliability of glass-integrated molded products.

As manufacturers struggle with the quality issue of increased residual stress during the molding process, which leads to rainbow-colored distortions (retardation) visible through polarized sunglasses as the size of transparent panels increases, our uniquely developed "STAR treatment" is a technology that fundamentally suppresses residual stress by comprehensively controlling multiple molding parameters such as gate temperature, holding pressure, and injection conditions. Since it does not require changes in materials or modifications to molds, it can resolve issues while utilizing existing equipment and design assets. This technology achieves stable quality at mass production levels for applications with stringent optical properties, such as automotive displays, smartphones, and PC resin panels for tablets. We hope that manufacturers aiming to reduce non-conforming lots in polarized inspections, curb customer complaints, and improve yield will find this technology beneficial.

The realization of the click sensation for electronic cigarette components, which was consulted by a major tobacco brand, was considered impossible by other companies (in China). Achieving the click sensation required precise thickness adjustments, but relying solely on injection molding resulted in dimensional variations that made it difficult. We adjusted the thickness after molding using a special cutting machine for secondary processing to achieve the click sensation. To address the variations in processing thickness caused by dimensional variations in molding, we designed and manufactured dedicated jigs in-house to resolve the issue. By providing a consistent response from molding to secondary processing, we enable mass production of electronic device components with a precise click mechanism that cannot be achieved by other companies.
