Product Design and Functionality with Overmolding Injection Molding
Overmolding injection molding is a sophisticated manufacturing technique that combines multiple materials into a single, cohesive product. This process, increasingly popular in various industries, involves molding one material over another to create parts with improved functionality, aesthetics, and performance. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits, applications, and process of overmolding injection molding. What is Overmolding Injection Molding? Overmolding injection molding is a two-step process where a base substrate (typically a rigid plastic) is partially or entirely covered with a second material (often a soft, elastomeric compound) during the molding process. This method allows manufacturers to create products that leverage the advantages of multiple materials, enhancing their overall properties. Benefits of Overmolding Injection Molding Enhanced Functionality: By combining materials, overmolding injection molding can add functionalities such as improved grip, waterpro...
