    In Mold decorating

    Hello ,

    Does anyone have any experience with moldflow and "in mold decorating" processes.

    My company is looking at some new business using this process to apply chrome to automotive trim etc.

    I don't know if moldflow has any capabilities for this process.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    Hi,

     

    In Moldflow we support the in-mold labels process where you insert a label in a mold, which is then over molded. The label provides an insulating thermal barrier. You can find some information on this in the wiki-help.

    http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/2.0Insight/0670-Modeling670/0974-Mold...

     

    You could also consider using a part insert.
