Enhance your Product with Overmolding
Overmolding is the process in which one thermoplastic material is molded onto a second material to produce a single part. The injection overmolding process is done by employing two separate molds that will bond two different materials to form a part with aesthetics and functional appeal.
The benefits of overmolding:
- Cost and Time: Overmolding eliminates secondary operations, assembly, extra material and labor.
- Design: Overmolding allows for more flexibility in design opportunities.
- Materials : Wide ranges of hard and soft thermoplastic materials can be overmolded in an array of textures.
- Lifespan of Product: Overmolding is a good option for parts that may need to be waterproof, airtight or more resistant to shock and vibrations.
- Safety: Overmolding improves gripping areas, more shock resistant, and eliminates rough edges for more comfort and ease of use.
- Aesthetics: Overmolding offers more pleasing shapes with more style and color choices.
