Both sides of complex 3D shapes, such as U-shaped designs that are difficult to process in secondary operations, can be simultaneously decorated using double in-mold forming. There are proven applications in automotive use.
This is a cover panel for in-vehicle navigation with a 3D shape that has never been seen before, designed to create a sense of "depth" with decorative elements applied to the backside. This inquiry was received for a project intended for exhibition. By using a double in-mold method that incorporates two films into the mold, we achieved double-sided decoration on a U-shaped design that is difficult to process further, while simultaneously transferring decoration on both sides during molding. Additionally, we developed a unique treatment to eliminate resin orientation distortion in the window area, making it compatible with polarized sunglasses. The prototype was successfully exhibited at the trade show, leading to specific business discussions based on the feedback received. Our expertise in double-sided decoration and 3D capabilities, honed in the automotive sector, can also be applied to cover lenses for industrial equipment and home appliances.
