Out Mold decoration technology

The out-of-mold decoration OMD process is a decoration technology that applies decorative materials to the surface of the product, corresponding to IMD in-mold decoration. It can provide products with rich and diverse decorative effects, and is relatively flexible and suitable for various products.

Out Mold decoration technology is called for short, OMD which is to make up for the shortcoming of the single color ofgeneral injection parts. Put workpieces into a high-pressure vacuum forming machine to make a pattern cover itssurface. The process can prevent adverse effects of high temperature and high forming pressure caused by the plasticinjection, and improve the yield of the process.

This technology is divided into OMR.(Out-mold release) and OMF (Our-mold forming).For the front-end process, both ofthem are similar, print pattern on thermoplastic film and put a workpiece in a high-pressure vacuum machine to heatfilm to make it soft. Both processing needs fixtures to fix film during the production. By high-pressure vacuuming, thefilm will be a laminated or transferred pattern to the surface of workpieces that will make a product with a beautifulappearance. The main difference is the back-end process,OMR is to transfer the pattern on workpieces, have to releasethe film, and do the UV curing to make it with hardness. OMF is to make the film itself cover the product and cutunnecessary film based on the product shape.

out Mold decoration technology is not only eco-friendly but also with a simple process and cheap fixtures. Thistechnology can cover the product surface to the bottom of the product and chamfer, even for large sizes of products.For the material selection of workpieces, in addition to covering the plastic surfaces, it can also be applied to variousmaterials,such as metal, glass,and ceramics. It's widely used for automobile interiotand exterior trim,3C products,medical equipment and etc.
