IMD

There are demands for mobile devices such as smartphones (high-performance mobile devices) to become slimmer and lighter. For this reason, the issue for the external parts is how well the designs required by the customers can be reproduced on the limited space.
2Shot-IMD is a technology which imparts a sense of depth and three-dimensionality in that limited space using two-sided decoration.
Also, we were asked by customers whether it could be possible to do simultaneous molding of back-surface formation (hooks, etc.) at the same time as 2Shot-IMD, to make it into a single part. To realize this, we developed new technologies combining 2-color molding technologies.
This maintains the design whilst achieving process step reductions and lower costs.
 

A premium housing with a sense of three-dimensionality is created by adding decoration to the surface of 2-color molded items and to the intermediate layer held in between layers of resin.
