Customer background

‌Industry ‌ : intelligent wearable equipment manufacturing

‌Requirements ‌ : The customer plans to launch a high-end sports health monitoring device. The case requires a high-precision three-color gradient injection molding effect, which needs to seamlessly integrate the non-slip underpad and the main structure on complex curved surfaces (such as oval structures), while meeting medical grade durability and environmental protection standards.


Challenges and needs


‌Pain point ‌ :

The traditional two-color injection molding process is difficult to achieve the gradient texture of blue, white, and gray envisioned by customers, and the non-slip foot pad at the bottom is prone to overflow when combined with the main body.

The miniaturization design of the equipment leads to high difficulty in filling the injection channel, and the finished product rate is insufficient.

Mold development to mass production delivery should be completed within 8 weeks to meet the new product launch node.


Solution


Application of innovative technology: dynamic temperature control three three-color injection molding system ‌

The patented layered temperature control mold technology is adopted to realize the precise switching of the melting state of three materials in a single molding to eliminate the bonding line.

The problem of insufficient filling on the edge of the elliptical structure is solved by optimizing the gate design through fluid simulation.


‌Composite material technology ‌:

Body material: Medical grade PC+ABS (fog blue gradient texture)

Foot mat material: secondary injection TPU soft adhesive (bottom non-slip structure molding)

Button assembly: Embedded metal contacts are formed synchronously with plastic parts



Results and feedback


‌Cosmetics design ‌: Through three-color injection molding technology, the product surface presents unique colors and patterns, greatly enhancing the visual appeal.

Function enhancement ‌:  Materials of different colors have different physical properties. Through a reasonable combination, the overall performance of the product is enhanced, such as increasing wear resistance, anti-slip performance, etc.

Production efficiency ‌: Three-color injection molding simplifies the production process, reduces the time of multiple injection molding and assembly, and improves production efficiency.

Cost control ‌: Reduced production costs effectively by cutting down production steps and material waste.
