In-mold decoration (IMD) is popular in making mobile phones, electrical appliance panels, transparent lenses for display screens, dials of automotive instruments, washing machine panel, etc.. It has developed to decorate large casings, such as car shell. IMD not only makes the decoration effect beautiful, but also has ...

Flexible electronic circuits are generally composed of conductors and elastomers. There are some materials for conductor. They can be traditional metal films and conductive silver pastes, transparent conductive oxide inks, new nanocrystal inks such as metal nanowires, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fully flexible liqu...

Increasingly, circuits are being added to 3D surfaces and integrated into objects using a variety of new technologies. Aerosol and material jetting allow conductive interconnects to be applied to surfaces. In-mold electronics and 3D printed electronics allow complete circuits to be integrated into objects. With 3D elec...

As an emerging and promising technology, flexible electronics not only changes the form and function of traditional electronic devices, but also heralds a new chapter in the future of smart life. Let's talk about it. Flexible electronics can make electronic devices made of organic/inorganic materials on flexible/du...

1. Electric power system Battery monitoring/heating It provides the long range under given battery weight and cost budget. It is a key requirement for electric vehicle manufacturers. This requires the power battery to be kept in an efficient working state as much as possible. Temperature is a very important factor. Ele...

In-Mold Electronics (IME) is the extension of In-Mold Decoration (IMD). Thermoformed plastics with decorative coatings are transformed into 3D components by injection molding. IME is the development of existing technology, so much of existing processes and equipment can be reused. Compared to technology on traditional ...

In-mold electronics (IME) is a combination of in-mold decoration (IMD) and printed electronics. It is an alternative to traditional human-machine interfaces (HMIs) with mechanical switches. IME has strong functionality, light weight and lower cost. It has wide application in automotive, medical devices and household ap...

In-mold decoration (IMD) is a production technology that combines printed decorative layers with injection molding. There are some technical points. The accuracy of the printing process is crucial because it directly determines the clarity and color accuracy of pattern. Good printing process can ensure pattern details ...

As the raw material for silkscreen printing, ink requires the features of wear resistance, high temperature resistance and easy mixing. There are two types: solvent-based ink and light-curing ink. Solvent-based ink After silkscreen printing with solvent-based ink, plastic pieces needs to be dried in a three-stage dryer...

Traditional plastic processing has gradually failed to meet our needs, that's why in-mold decoration (IMD) plays a big role. People like thin, short and light electronic products. We do care about environmental protection, giving rise to this technology. IMD is an automated production process. Compared with traditi...

In-Mould Decoration (IMD) is a production technology that combines a printed decorative layer with injection molding. The accuracy of the printing process is crucial because it directly determines the clarity of the transferred pattern and color. Accurate printing can ensure the presentation of pattern details and colo...

1. Raw Materials Thermoplastic When the temperature is lowered, thermoplastics for IMD/silkscreen can soften and melt. If heated again, they can still soften and melt, and cool and harden. All of these can be repeated over and over again. Thermoset plastic Thermoset plastics begin to soften and have plasticity when hea...
