IMD Technology is developed to solve the shortages of the traditional surface decoration technology of plastic molding, and is the best new technology that substitutes for the plastic spray paint and electroplating processing now. It can reduce the follow-up injection processing. IMD technology is to put the pre-treated film with decorative illustrations, logos and color inlay on the injection mold cavity for spotting and injecting. Its classification include to IML, IMR and IMF technology. The material that IMD technology used is plastic. IMD technology processes are illustrated in this paper. Applications of IMD technology are mainly in the computer industry and in the communications industry. Other industries are medical equipment, cosmetics boxes, decorative boxes, toys, sports and recreation supplies. It is shown that IMD technology has brought a wildly innovation in product design. To promote and popularize it in the plastics industry can achieve energy saving and environmental protection significance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
