<p>A component is provided that is net shape molded using a polymer (18) to form the core structure and which includes an integrally formed metallized coating (26) or layer on at least one of the exterior surfaces thereof . The process of forming the component includes two- shot molding process wherein a thin layer of metal (26) or the base polymer (18) component is molded, the mold (12) is adjusted and then the remainder of the part . is molded. Alternately, an insert molding process may be employed such that after the polymer base part (318) is formed, it may be placed into a mold cavity (302) that is slightly larger than the entire part (318) , thereby allowing substantially the entire exterior surface of the part (318) to be over molded with a molten metal (326) .</p> |
