Overmolding utilizes a single or double injection molding process to mold materials with different properties within the same mold. This process is often used to enhance slip resistance, improve hand feel, or increase structural strength.

Q1: What is the difference between an overmolded mold and a two-shot mold?
A1: Overmolding is a combination of substrate and secondary injection molding, while two-shot molds are molded simultaneously.
Q2: Can you make soft-hard hybrid structural parts?
A2: Yes, this is common in electronics, consumer goods, and other fields.
Q3: Can the overmolding thickness be controlled?
A3: Yes, the thickness generally ranges from 0.5–5mm.
Q4: Is the mold easy to maintain?
A4: Yes, disassembly and cleaning are considered during the design.
Q5: Do you provide a prototype service?
A5: Yes, customers can confirm the prototype before mass production.
We support custom mold cavity counts, cooling methods, and multi-color overmolding to ensure that our customers' individual needs are met.
