Two-color molding may also be referred to as 2-shot molding, bi-injection molding, co-injection molding, or multi-shot injection molding, which produces a part with two different colors and/or materials in a single operation. A two-color mold is able to combine two resins with different characteristics and colors into a single two-color product, which reduces the assembly [...]
Overmolding is an injection molding process used to mold one plastic (commonly a rubber-like plastic called TPE) over top of another component (substrate). The substrate is usually an injection-molded plastic part, but it could also be made from various other materials. Overmolding is used across several industries and serves a wide array of purposes. Below [...]
Overmolding is becoming more and more popular in the injection molding industry, so do you know about overmolding? Let me talk something about the Materials Compatibility and advantages of overmolding, Overmolding Materials Compatibility Materials While there are many combinations of substrate and resin materials that are compatible, other factors affect resin choice apart from compatibility [...]
Overmolding is an injection molding process where you cast a layer of resin (usually a rubber-like plastic known as TPE) over an already molded or machined material to give it properties it doesn’t singlehandedly possess. Although this process is cost-effective and helps to provide excellent adhesion between materials, it requires proper planning. For example, the [...]
