The decorative frame is an integral part of a headlight lighting system

The decorative frame is an integral part of a headlight lighting system. The decorative frame is located inside the headlight and is assembled with a lens, which is visible from the outside of the vehicle. The materials used for decorative frames include PC, PBT + GF, PA + GF, and PET+GF. The surface plating of these materials should be high-quality to prevent flow marks. Mold design and manufacturing must be precise to achieve an appropriate texture depth.

molding compounds

Whether you're looking to make your car look more stylish or customize its interior,  molding compound can help you meet these challenges. This revolutionary new material, which is resistant to both impact and UV rays, is suitable for both automotive and commercial applications. It also reflects infrared rays, making it 20% cooler than dark plastic surfaces.

Rohm, the manufacturer of molding compound, introduced the first heat-resistant compound in 1983. Since then, the company has continued to refine its formulas. Pleximid, a polymer that outperformed Plexiglas, is used in automotive light guides. The company is now working on a new, stronger material that will improve its performance.

The resulting product is a unique combination of plastic and glass that has an elegant velvet-like surface. These materials have a high light-transmitting capacity and allow designers to create parts that have several functions. Plus, they are recyclable. The result is a car that looks better than ever! In addition, Plexiglas is much easier to recycle than glass. Using the material is an environmentally friendly way to improve the look of your car and improve safety.

Focare Mould

For automotive applications, Molding has developed an innovative multi-shot injection molding process. This technology combines different materials to create a molded part with enhanced functionality and aesthetics. Automotive lights are one of the most common products produced using this process. Its rotary table rotates one side of the mold to produce each product. To avoid damage to the product, it is important to secure the light on this moving side.

ENGEL automotive

The Automotive Car Light Molding process is used to produce lightweight components that have excellent crash safety capabilities. The company has been working on load-compliant composite part design. ENGEL works to optimize component geometry according to its lightweight properties by combining different prepregs and materials. Moreover, the company uses its own injection mold technology and automates the production process. A robot will bring the thermoplastic composite material into the injection mold. The component is then formed in one step.

The company will also display advanced processing of liquid silicone for LED headlight lenses on a new  310/120 US injection molding machine. Injection molding is an excellent option to produce complex lenses with complicated geometries. With the two-cavity mold, the process can produce lenses with various surface structures, including leather grain, seam, and modern carbon. The new material is highly transparent and UV-resistant, making it a good choice for various automotive applications.
