Clear PC Light Guide Injection Molding | High Transparency Single Shot Optical Part

Product Description

OVERVIEW Custom single-shot injection molded light guide component made from optically clear PC. This is a high-transparency / non-diffusive optical part designed to transmit and direct light with minimal distortion, haze, or loss. The mold surfaces are highly polished to support clean light paths and a clear appearance, making the part suitable for LED indicators, illumination modules, display lighting, and precision optical assemblies. MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS • Material: Optical-grade / clear PC, non-diffusive formulation • Process: Single-shot injection molding • Tooling: Single-cavity tooling • Surface Finish: High polishing / mirror-like finish on optical surfaces • Clarity: High light transmission, low haze, minimal internal scattering • Features: Small light-guide legs / prisms / optical paths / transparent transmission structures • Dimensional Control: Tight tolerance on wall thickness, optical faces, and light-entry/exit areas • Clean Handling: Packaged to avoid scratches, dust, and stress marks on clear surfaces KEY ADVANTAGES • High Clarity: Clear PC maintains bright, direct light transmission without diffusion haze. • Polished Optical Surfaces: High-polish tooling helps reduce flow marks, scratches, and visual defects. • Precise Light Guidance: Suitable for directing LED light to specific indicator or display areas. • Single-Shot Efficiency: One molding cycle produces a complete transparent optical component. • Good Heat and Impact Performance: PC offers better thermal and mechanical properties than standard acrylic in many applications. • Consistent Appearance: Clear, glossy finish supports premium optical and electronic products. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • LED light guides and light pipes • Clear optical transmission components • Indicator and status-light guide parts • Display / panel illumination elements • Consumer electronics optical pieces • Automotive or appliance clear light-conducting parts PROCESS NOTE Clear PC must be properly dried before molding to avoid splay, silver streaks, and clarity loss. High-polish cavities require careful gate placement and process control to keep weld lines, flow marks, and stress lines away from critical optical surfaces. Melt and mold temperatures are optimized to preserve transparency and reduce internal haze. QUALITY ASSURANCE Visual inspection under light for haze, scratches, flow marks, bubbles, and clarity. Backlit or transmission check for light path performance. Dimensional verification of optical surfaces and mounting features. CMM / FAIR inspection available on request.
