Film insert molding consists of placing a decorated film, either flat or formed into the mold of an injection molding machine. Resin is shot behind the film, bonding the film surface to the molding resin to form a finished integral part. Many different film and resin combinations are possible using FIM.
Several different forming methods are being used for insert molding. Each forming process has its own benefits and limitations which must be considered in the design phase.
  • Thermoforming
  • High Pressure Forming (HPF)
  • Hydro forming
  • Match Metal Dies
  • Trimming
