2-Shot Injection-Molded Cluster Bezel


In this application, a 2-shot component produced on a rotary injection-molding press replaces a standard clear lens + painted bezel.  This allows removal of an assembly joint, creates a unique cut-out in the instrument panel over the instrument cluster, and produces an A-surface with molded piano-black finish, eliminating post-mold painting. The result is increased craftsmanship and design quality by eliminating a sealing defect. Thanks to formation of a chemical bond between PMMA and PC-ITR materials, eliminating variance due to welding, spacing is consistent.
