This application features an insert-molded wood composite that is back injected via 15 gates to create individual plastic slats that are connected in the back. A 3-axis laser is used to separate wood between slats for a cohesive grain appearance. Unlike conventional flat compression molded wood tambour doors featuring layers of veneer, interply, and adhesive, these doors are curved. The part features 63% GR-PA 6/6 with extremely low shrink (0.05 mm) to match the non-shrinking wood. Use of a large number of gates on a relatively small part eliminates warpage.
