METHOD TO MANUFACTURE CHROME BUTTONS WITH INTEGRATED LIGHT PIPE USING TWO SHOT MOLDING PROCESS |
摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for molding and chrome plating a button having an integrated light pipe. The method utilizes a two shot molding process to create the button housing and the light pipe. The method includes the steps of injecting a first shot of resin A wherein resin A is a resin not allowing chrome to adhere to it, allowing resin A to cool, injecting a second shot of resin B into the mold, and continuing to chrome plate the entire button wherein chrome only adheres to resin B. A light pipe formed by resin A remains transparent or translucent allowing light to shine through from a light to the eye of a user. Chrome plating adheres to resin B providing for a polished finish. |
