Overmolding is a common plastic injection molding process.
Plastic injection overmolding.
Overmolding for plastic injection molding.
Overmolding is the process in which one thermoplastic material is molded onto a second material to produce a single part.
Plastic injection overmolding is a common process to encapsulate electronics create component handles or create a product that is comprised of different co.
Overmolding is a great process to connect two separate parts to eliminate assembly to provide color contrasts to provide an ergonomic grip to seal an area or to hide known blemishes such as parting lines in the substrate.
Features like soft grips watertight seals and shock.
The process for insert molding is different because it involves encapsulating a product in molded plastic.
With overmolding you can maximize the strengths of different plastics while minimizing their weaknesses.
Multiple industries like electronics agriculture based sectors automotive industries medical units etc make use of plastic overmolding techniques.
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.
After the part has cooled it is placed into an overmolding tool where it is then coated with molten thermoplastic or rubber.
