In-Mold Decoration
IMD application
This back molding technology works with a hot stamping foil which is feeded verticaly through the mold by a transportation unit. During the injection, the foil is pressed into the cavity. Due to the mass temperature, the decorative layer releases from the polyester carrier and get´s combineded with the plastic part.
Advantages of the IMD application
- Freedom of design
- High surface quality
- Different decoration options
- Quick change of decor
- High functional integration
- Ready-to-install molded parts and assemblies
