  • Publication number: 20070228604
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an emblem of an automobile part in which the emblem and the part are formed integrally. The method includes printing an emblem on a film wound up in a roll at predetermined intervals (S1), three-dimensionally forming the emblem-printed film (S2), cutting the three-dimensionally formed film using a cutter to obtain an emblem film (S3), inserting the cut emblem film into upper and lower halves of a mold (S4), and injecting a melted resin into the mold to integrally form the resin with the emblem film (S5). Since the emblem is inserted into the cavity of the mold and integrally formed with a molded product, it is possible to prevent separation of the emblem from the product, thus preventing driver/passenger injury by the emblem in a collision. In addition, since the emblem is manufactured without a plating process using a heavy metal such as chrome, it is possible to prevent environmental contamination.
