About plating: partial plating and two-color molding.

Applying plating only to specific areas! Introduction to selective plating.

Resin plating is typically applied to the entire surface, but if plating adheres to fastening parts or the back side other than the design surface, there is a possibility of unusual noises or malfunctions occurring at the fitting points. Partial plating is one method to address these issues. When it comes to resin plating, it is generally performed on the entire surface. Full plating allows for the beautiful appearance of real metal. However, in products, plating may also adhere to areas that fit with other components, such as bosses or claws on the back side, not just the design surface. The adhesion of plating to areas other than the design surface can lead to problems that differ from those of standard molded products. One method to tackle such issues is partial plating. With partial plating, plating is applied only to the necessary parts. This prevents plating from adhering to the contact areas with other components, thereby resolving the issues. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related link.
