Plastic Injection Molding: Overmolding The overmolding process is to make a new part using a combination of two or three or even more kinds of plastic or elastomer materials. During the plastic overmolding process, usually hard material is first-shot, and then soft material will be the second shot over the first layer molded part. What is Overmolding? Overmolding is used for a range of application...

Injection Molding for Thermoplastic Elastomers While people are talking about thermoplastic elastomers, we usually easily think of TPE.The injection molding process is adapted to TPEs rather readily. The various classes of TPEs will generally mold well. Historically, the thermoplatic urethanes were the exception due to their high viscosity, but in recent years TPU grades that injection mold ...

When molds and tooling are mentioned, what comes to mind are the parts that are produced through the use of processes like injection molding or plastic extrusion, blowing molding. These parts can be used for a number of different purposes across different fields and industries, and getting them right the first time is extremely crucial in the success of whatever process they will be used for. Mold...

What is Injection Molding: Injection Molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts in large volume. It is most typically used in mass-production processes where the same part is being created thousands or even millions of times in succession. Why Use Injection Molding: The principal advantage of injection molding is the ability to scale production en masse. Once the initial costs have bee...
