Method for the partial coloring of plastic parts

A method for the partial dyeing of plastic components, including the steps

• i) submerging a plastic component in a dye bath,
• ii) possibly the heating of the dye bath,
• iii) irradiation of the plastic component from i) and possibly ii) with focussed non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, preferably focussed non-ionising electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength within a range of ≥0.1 μm to ≤1 mm, more preferably within a range of ≥0.15 μm to ≤20 μm, most preferably with laser radiation within a range of ≥0.15 μm to ≤20 μm,
• wherein the partial dyeing substantially happens only at the points irradiation during step iii).
