High Quality Interior Components at Low Unit Cost

Decorative films are increasingly replacing painting in order to flexibly combine a high quality surface finish of the vehicle interior with small batch sizes and low unit costs. With DecoJect, systems integrator Engel presented the next development step in collaboration with partner companies at K 2016: the combination of injection molding with in-mold graining in a highly-automated roll-to-roll process. The film solution makes it easier to harmonize the vehicle interior when using different base materials.
