How to realize the wood grain effect of automobile interior plastic

If you are a car owner and want to replace your car with wood grain ornaments, I am afraid you will be disappointed. Even if anyone can change it, the estimated effect will not be satisfactory.

At present, one of the processing methods of wood grain plastic ornaments is water transfer printing, and the other is IMD(INS) in-mold extension technology. However, the similarity between the two is * * *, and decorative patterns are added. Water transfer printing is to transfer transfer paper/plastic film with color patterns to the surface of plastic parts by water pressure; IMD technology is a plastic film with a pattern formed in advance and first installed in a mold. In the process of injection molding, plastic and film are directly and closely combined. Both are high-cost mass production technologies, and the price of a single part is almost ten times more expensive than that of ordinary non-decorative parts. Usually, the car factory will make it.

If a plastic part is a non-decorative part, it is several times more difficult to change it into a decorative part than to redesign a part, whether it is water transfer printing or IMD. I don't think the car factory is willing to do such a thing. If it turned out to be decorative parts, I'm afraid people are reluctant to produce ordinary non-decorative parts with ultra-expensive equipment.

Simply put, only the part with wood grain (or other decoration) can be replaced when leaving the factory, and a part with other decorative patterns can be replaced. If there is no decoration, it is best not to toss.
