Film processes IMD und IML cleverly combined
Three at one go at Fakuma

In one of the cavities, a control display is taking shape in what is called the dead-front design with touch sensor. In the adjacent cavity, a component is being made with faux-concrete surface aesthetics that can be lit from behind. At the Fakuma trade show, KraussMaffei and Leonhard Kurz were demonstrating the degree of functional integration made possible by combining the IMD (in-mold decoration) and IML (in-mold labeling) film processes.
