The injection mold for the painted shell exterior parts is a precision forming equipment targeted at the automotive, home appliance, and consumer electronics industries. The core objective is to provide an injection base that is compatible with the painting process for high-requirement components. The mold cavities need to undergo mirror polishing or custom texture etching treatment to ensure the flatness and uniformity of the injection part's surface structure, thereby preventing defects such as run-off and shrinkage holes after painting from occurring at the source.
Structural and Process Optimization
The design focus of these molds lies in preventing appearance defects such as weld marks, air lines, and shrinkage marks. By optimizing the layout of gates and channels, combined with precise control of the mold temperature system, the molten material can be smoothly filled and cooled evenly; the ejection system adopts flexible pins or air-assisted ejection structures to avoid leaving ejection marks on the surface of the injection molded part, ensuring that the shell can meet the standard before painting, thereby reducing the cost of subsequent pre-treatment.
Technological development trends
As the demand for lightweighting and appearance upgrades in downstream industries increases, these types of molds are evolving towards integration and intelligence. With the help of CAE simulation technology, defects in the molding process can be predicted and optimized in advance. Some high-end molds even come equipped with online monitoring sensors to achieve closed-loop control of the production process. At the same time, the development of compatibility for non-spraying materials and dual-color injection molding processes is also helping downstream enterprises achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and environmental upgrading.
