What is Overmolding?
The overmolding process involves molding one plastic material over another. This ensures a seamless combination of multiple plastic parts to give a uniform and durable product. Insert molding and multi-shot molding processes help combine materials for functional and aesthetic purposes.
RapidDirect’s plastic injection overmolding uses these processes to ensure every component meets industrial standards.
Overmolding Process
Plastic over Plastic
Crucial for mass production, involves machining, and assembling durable molds from steel or aluminum to ensure precise and repeatable part geometries.
- Aluminum and steel injection mold.
- Achieves detailed geometries.
- Ideal for mass production.
Rubber Over Plastic
Overmolding improves product functionality and aesthetics by fusing different materials into one part, adding features like soft grips and multi-color designs for enhanced usability
- Improves strength and lifespan.
- Combines different materials seamlessly.
- Offers color and texture options.
Plastic Over Metal
Insert molding integrates metal or other materials into plastic parts during molding, enhancing strength and reducing assembly time for components with embedded features.
- Reduces assembly steps.
- Enhances component durability.
- Lowers production expenses.
