Abstract: A three-dimensional overmolding and process for manufacturing same. The three-dimensional overmolding has a three-dimensional structure with overmolding, which gives significant performance benefits. Assembly and joining of reinforcements is done before the overmolding or in the injection molding tool. The three-dimensional overmolding meets predetermined structural requirements without requiring secondary operations and at a lower mass and cost. The structural benefits are due to the three dimensional shape in combination with the benefit of the overmolding process.

Abstract: Metal rib overmolding joining including creating geometrical features in reinforcements for interconnecting a three-dimensional metal reinforcement to a metal base plate of an overmolding part in order to transfer load forces. Interlocked reinforcement is pre-assembled or assembled in an injection molding tool. Geometric features are positioned and joined creating a connection geometry that is overmolded. The joints created between the metal reinforcements are done without a welding process.

Abstract: An exterior body panel assembly having a Class A painted surface, mold-in color or non-Class A surface, and process of infrared welding components of the assembly. Panels of the assembly are placed on a nesting structure and the inside half of the structures are brought together with the other for a fit check. Panels are separated and an infrared heating fixture then heats the various areas to be heated on the panels. The areas on the panels are heated depending on the thicknesses of the parts at each area and surface geometries to be welded. The parts are immediately clamped back together under pressure for joining and cooling of the joined surfaces in the clamped arrangement.

Abstract: A metal and composite thermoplastic sandwich overmold adapted to achieve predetermined performance requirements without having to add metal and mass penalty to the assembly, and process to manufacture same. This is achievable by using the thermoplastic material that allows for a predetermined improved ribbing pattern that is connected to a base material. The ribbing can transfer load due to improved connection to the base material. There is provided increased plastic surface and edge encapsulation on the non-visible side of the part and the capability to provide well connected ribbing.

Abstract: A liftgate (10) for a vehicle having at least one overmolding bracket (28) with at least one open mounting surface on the bracket for liftgate hardware attachments. In addition, overmolding the bracket (28) and maintaining at least one hole (26) for tether routing. The liftgate allows the overmolding of the bracket (28) and maintains a lower cost fastener joint that does not require extra components or special components such a compression limiters and rivet nuts or brackets that cannot be overmolded.

Abstract: A liftgate arrangement (10) including a thermoplastic inner panel (12) with an outer surface and an inner surface. The liftgate arrangement further includes one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) connected to and extending across a portion of the outer surface of the inner panel (12). The one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) also includes a hollow channel (22, 22′) extending between two openings on the one or more blow molded reinforcements. The one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) are used to strengthen the inner panel at desired locations.
