Plated molded article and method for manufacturing plated molded article

Abstract

A plated molded article 1 is characterized in that a partial region R in a surface 21 of a base material 2 is provided with a plurality of non-penetrating holes 4 of substantially corresponding shapes and substantially corresponding sizes that are formed in a scattered pattern in such a manner as to be separated from each other at a substantially averaged hole density, and a plated part 3 is formed while filling the non-penetrating holes 4 and is provided continuously over the partial region R in such a manner as to extend across the non-penetrating holes 4. It is possible to obtain a plated molded article capable of forming a required plated part in a short time on a surface of a base material and capable of improving smoothness of an outer surface of the plated part and adhesion property of the plated part.
