As consumers' demands for automotive driving experiences continue to rise, automotive interior components must not only be functional but also aesthetically pleasing and durable. Against this backdrop, In-Mold Decoration (IMD/IML/INS) technology has gradually become a crucial process in high-end automotive interior manufacturing, thanks to its integrated molding, high-precision pattern reproduction, and excellent surface performance. Ningbo Chengdexing Automotive Trim Co., Ltd., as one of the early adopters of this technology in China, leverages the advantages of Ningbo Ninghai's mold industry to consistently provide high-quality in-mold decoration solutions for the automotive sector.
In-Mold Decoration technology involves embedding pre-printed or pre-formed decorative films into injection molds, achieving an integrated bond between the pattern layer and the plastic substrate during the injection molding process. This approach effectively mitigates the environmental pressures and cost increases associated with traditional post-treatment processes like spraying and electroplating, while significantly enhancing the product's surface properties such as wear resistance, scratch resistance, and weather resistance. In key areas such as central control panels, air vent trims, door panel trim strips, and instrument panel decorations, Chengdexing's IMD/IML/INS products demonstrate excellent design flexibility and color vibrancy.
It is worth noting that Chengdexing possesses a complete manufacturing chain encompassing CAD/CAM mold design, screen printing, high-pressure/vacuum forming, and precision injection molding. Equipped with advanced machinery such as imported high-pressure forming machines, CNC machining centers, and coordinate measuring machines, the company ensures that every stage from development to mass production complies with the stringent quality standards of the automotive industry. Particularly in INS (In-Mold Insert) technology, Chengdexing achieves high-precision wrapping of complex curved surfaces, meeting the demands of new energy vehicles for lightweight and personalized interiors.
Currently, In-Mold Decoration technology is progressively replacing traditional decorative processes, becoming a key direction for upgrading automotive interiors. Chengdexing will continue to focus on technological innovation and process optimization, providing customers with reliable and stable IMD, IML, and INS automotive interior components, thereby helping automotive brands enhance cabin quality and user experience.
