Double-shot Injection Molding

Double-shot injection molding is a manufacturing process that injects two different colors or materials of plastic into the same mold, achieving a part with two different colors or properties on its surface. This process is commonly used for producing parts with multiple colors, logos, and products with multi-material structures.

Vehicle Dashboard Panel

This is a part of a car dashboard, made using double-shot injection molding technology to combine two different colored materials into one piece. The outer surface is coated with two layers of paint, white and black, and laser engraving technology is used to create the required icons. When the internal light shines through, the corresponding icons are very clear, with no light leakage.
