Résumé : |
Marbling is often a real eye-catcher in plastic components. However, the effect is difficult to create and there are some pitfalls when it comes to reproducibility. Novel nozzles for injection molding machines in combination with a special dosing technology allow marbled molded parts to be produced far more easily in a much more robust process |

- Just one plasticizing unit*
- Figure : Marbling leads to attractively designed molded plastic parts, but is not so easy to implement in production
- Fig. 1 : All kinds of marbling effects can be achieved, depending on the channel geometry employed
- Fig. 2 : Not only flat molded parts but also attractive three-dimensional articles can be produced with a marblinhg effect. Correct dosing and the combination of "contrast" batches and coloring component during production are also important
- Fig. 3 : Molds fitted with hot runners and tunnel sprues can be used to produce very attractive patterns. As these molde are not injected from a central point the marbling streaks vary in their pattern
- Fig. 4 : Nozzle inserts made by 3D printing offer designers huge freedom of design. Flow-optimized channel geometries in the nozzles can be used to make the melt swirl on its way into the mold. This also supports the creaction of rotationally symmetrical patterns
- Fig. 5 : The surface finish of the mold cavity influences the appearance of the samples. Highly polished surfaces strongly accentuate contrasts. Textured surfaces leads to a matt appearance
