IMR (Imaging Manufacturing by Return Light) process for flat panel computer cases: Creating colorful computer cases

IMR process flow:

The IMR (Imaging Manufacturing by Return Light) process for flat panel computer cases is a manufacturing process that uses optical molds to create a variety of colors through the reflection of patterns on a thin film of foil. The process involves printing patterns on a thin film of foil, which are then applied to a mold used in injection-molding to create a desired color pattern on the case.

The specific process steps are as follows:

1. During injection-molding, the image-bearing oil layer is separated from the foil film, leaving the decoration pattern on the surface of the plastic part.
2. When the pressure frame is opened, the film is transferred to the designated position.
3. Press the pressure frame to remove any air and ensure that the transfer foil is properly applied to the mold.
4. Close the mold and inject the molding process together with heat transfer, cooling, and molding.
5. Open the mold, open the pressure frame, remove the molded product, and send the foil for the next round.

Through this process, up to 256 different colors can be created, making flat panel computer cases color options very rich. At the same time, surface treatment can enhance its wear resistance, scratch resistance, and anti-fingerprint properties, while high gloss can improve the look and feel of the case. High precision and environmental friendliness are two features of IMR process that can enhance the look and feel of the computer case and its performance.

IMR In Molding Roller Plastic process introduction:

IMR process (In Molding Roller): A transfer film formed by coating a release layer, protective layer, graphic layer, and adhesive layer on the surface of PET film as a carrier. The transfer film is fed into the mold cavity of the injection molding machine through a film feeder. Under the combined action of heat and pressure during the molding process of the hot melt plastic material in the injection molding machine, the protective layer, along with the graphic and text layers, and the adhesive layer, detach from the PET carrier film and transfer to the surface of the plastic product, enabling the plastic product to receive decoration and protection during the molding process. This is an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, labor and material saving process.
