METHOD FOR PRODUCING INJECTION-MOLDED ARTICLE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING INJECTION-MOLDED ARTICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18465525 titled 'METHOD FOR PRODUCING INJECTION-MOLDED ARTICLE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING INJECTION-MOLDED ARTICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for producing an injection-molded article using laser irradiation and plating. Here are the key points:
- The method involves molding an injection-molded article.
- A laser is used in a primary irradiation operation to irradiate specific regions on the surface of the article.
- The primary irradiation regions are spaced apart from each other.
- After the primary irradiation, a secondary irradiation operation is performed using a laser on different regions of the article's surface.
- The secondary irradiation regions are also spaced apart from each other.
- Both the primary and secondary irradiation regions may partially overlap with each other.
- A plating layer is then formed on the surface of the article, specifically on the primary and secondary irradiation regions.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can be used in the production of various injection-molded articles, such as plastic components for electronic devices, automotive parts, or household appliances.
- It can be applied to create decorative or functional plating layers on the surface of these articles.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional methods of plating injection-molded articles can be time-consuming and may result in uneven plating.
- This method provides a more efficient and precise way of applying plating layers to injection-molded articles.
Benefits of this technology:
- The use of laser irradiation allows for precise targeting of specific regions on the article's surface, ensuring uniform plating.
- The method reduces the time and cost associated with traditional plating processes.
- It enables the creation of injection-molded articles with enhanced aesthetics and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for producing an injection-molded article, according to various embodiments, comprises: molding an injection-molded article; irradiating, in a primary irradiation operation, a laser on primary irradiation regions spaced from each other, on at least a portion of the surface of the injection-molded article; irradiating, in a secondary irradiation operation, a laser on secondary irradiation regions spaced from each other, on at least a portion of the surface of the injection-molded article; and, on the surface of the injection-molded article, forming a plating layer on the primary irradiation regions and the secondary irradiation regions, wherein each of the secondary irradiation regions may at least partially overlap with at least one of the primary irradiation regions.
