Mold Life - 200,000 shots
Part Material - ABS
The design of the automotive rearview housing mold needs to consider the maximum outline of the plastic part as the parting surface, with an integral cavity for the upper part and an integral core for the lower part, embedded with several small inserts. The lateral part requires the design of a slider core-pulling mechanism, and the reinforced rib area of the core side needs to be designed with an angle lifter core-pulling structure. Design highlights include:
● Streamlined Surface Design: The outer surface of the automotive rearview mirror housing is a streamlined surface with a complex shape, and most other surfaces are composed of curved surfaces. This design makes the appearance more aesthetically pleasing.
● High Impact Strength and Good Appearance Characteristics: The plastic part material selected is engineering plastic ABS, which has good comprehensive performance, high impact strength, and good appearance characteristics.
● Multiple Reinforcing Rib Design: The housing contains multiple reinforcing ribs in the middle, which increases the strength and rigidity of the shell.
