In Mold Lamination Process

During in mold graining img the grain is first created on the foil during the deep drawing or vacuum laminating process.

In mold lamination process.

As noted above robotic spray up laminating is most effective in support of high volume large parts and is commonly used in the transportation industry. The mold was created by wrapping the model onto the master mandrel which was then transferred to the plating mandrel in order to form the nickel shell. Only a select few open mold composite manufacturers have invested the capital human and financial to support robotics. Mold behind is a process by which a fabric of material is inserted into a mold cavity with the underside injection molded.

Goldshield is a leader in this open mold laminating process. With mold behind an in mold lamination occurs between the fabric material and the injection molded resin. In starting the manufacturing process the mold is cleaned and prepped with a release agent. Ube s dieprest in mold laminating process is a closed mold injection compression technique which prevents damage to the cover fabric by precisely adjusting the spacing between the mold halves during molding.

The tooling pictured here is used for in mold grain lamination of a full automotive interior door panel. The desired finished side of the part dictates the orientation of the mold. The system features unique clamp position control and a special mold design.
