Automotive mirrors manufactured through injection molding processes are one of the most commonly used parts in today’s car manufacturing industry. These mirror housings are generally produced utilizing Injection Molded Products technology as it has benefits like accuracy in dimension, low in weight, inexpensive and flexible design.

1. What materials are usually chosen for car mirrors?

Automobiles mirror shells of Injection Plastic Parts are generally produced by using engineering plastics like polycarbonate( PC ), A bs plastic, polypropylene (PP) and polyamide ( PA). They possess good mechanical properties, weather stability, impact strength and processability and they are light weight, thus helping to decrease the overall weightage of the automobile to increase fuel efficiency.

2. What are the design considerations for automotive mirrors?

Some of the key aspects that are employed when manufacturing the injection-molded automotive mirrors include the aerodynamics of the product, the structural integrity, the appearance and the usability of the product. Hydrodynamic modeling and 3D modeling are carried out in the CAD CAM systems to finalize the shape of the mirror shell for minimizing the wind resistance and to get the better rear view. However, to accommodate the requirements of the end products, the design also had to incorporate interface compatibility with other automotive parts and modularity in terms of fitting.

3. Do automotive mirrors require surface treatment and assembly?

Injection-molded mirror housing can also be painted or chrome plated or even finished with a film coat if need be, in a bid to improve the look or to offer added protection. Mirrors and their lenses, the mounts of the mirrors, the powers as well as the heating components all have to be fitted accurately into the mirror casing so as to effectively operational.

4. What are the functions and safety of automotive mirrors?

Auto mirrors manufactured by the injection molding process do not only afford driver’s field of view but also have features like power operation, heating and defrosting, signaling, blind spot detection system, etc., thus enhancing driving safety and comfort. At the same time, design of the mirror shell will be subjected to safety requirements including but not limited to anti-collision design and shatter proof design.
