The raw material of the weather shields (also known as window visors) determines the durability, while the manufacturing process determines the stylistic presentation and texture.
OAD4X4's weather shields are made of top-quality reinforced acrylic material, which is durable and will not fade. As for the production process, there are three main types of production process, Thermo-pressing (Premium) / Blister (Luxury) / Injection moulding (Injection), so what is the difference? Here's a detailed comparison of them.
Thermo-pressing (Premium)
Process
- Technique: The acrylicsheet is heated until pliable, then pressed into a mold, using pressure to form the desired shape.
- Post-Processing: Hand trimmed to final shape after cooling.
Advantages
- Cost-Effective: Relatively low mould costs compared to injection moulding, better price.
- Flexibility: Good for creating complex shapes with fine details.
Disadvantages
- Finish: May require additional finishing processes to achieve a high-quality surface.
- Strength: No sense of three-dimensionality, edge processing test workers craftsmanship, compared to injection moulded products are not as smooth
Blister (Luxury)
Process
- Technique: The acrylicsheet is heated and then vacuum-formed over a mold. Post-Processing: Trim the excess after cooling and shaping.
Advantages
- Finish: Smooth edges and corners due to machine
- Detail: Smooth surface without impurity scratches, good three-dimensional effect.
Injection Moulding (Injection)
Process
- Technique: The molten plastic is injected into a mold cavity under high pressure, where it cools and solidifies into the final shape.
- Post-Processing: Minimal, as parts typically come out of the mold nearly finished.
Advantages
- Durability: Produces very strong and durable parts, suitable for high-impact applications.
- Precision: Excellent dimensional accuracy and repeatability, ideal for high-volume production.
- Surface Finish: High-quality surface finish straight out of the mold, often requiring little to no post-processing.
Disadvantages
- Cost: High initial tooling costs make the weather shields more expensive..
Summary
- Each process has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, you can choose according to your needs. OAD4X4 weather shields are custom made for each vehicle, optical transparency in a competitive price, your best choice for weather shields.
