With the BMW seven series using polyurethane to achieveimitation crystal effectAmbient lighting, while having a high-end feel of crystal, can also integrate lighting effects to achieve a cooler decorative effect. This combination of crystal + lighting has become a benchmark integration method in the industry, and its production process has also become a hot topic in the industry.

1. Imitation crystal effectColorForm attracts attention

It is reported that BMW’s crystal ambient lights should use KraussMaffei’s ColorForm in-mold paint forming process.ColorFormIt is an intelligent technology process that combines injection molding and polyurethane processing. In the first step, a thermoplastic matrix is ​​generated during the injection molding stage; in the second step, the mold is coated with polyurethane (PUR) or polyurea (PUA) as a surface material. After demoulding, the final finished component with a perfect surface can be used directly. for installation. The product stays in the same mold during the entire processing process, ensuring precise product size and high product quality, and achieving stable mass production.

1. Advantages of ColorForm in-mold painting process

  • Get a high-gloss effect in one step without the need for subsequent polishing
  • High degree of design freedom, capable of processing high-gloss surface coatings with different textures, colors or transparency
  • Self-healing and scratch-resistant
  • Functional requirements can be integrated into automotive interior or exterior components, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional spraying processes.

2. KraussMaffei and Qisu Tiaisi demonstrate the ColorForm in-mold painting processColorForm模内上漆工艺

At the 2024 Asia Rubber & Plastics Exhibition, KraussMaffei and Qisu Tiaisi demonstrated some typical cases of ColorForm in-mold painting technology.
