Overview
Overmolding or insert molding injects thermoplastic into the mold to wrap around the existing or pre-molded items. It’s the way to produce one finished part with multiple processes. As the different materials are combined inside the mold, the heat would provide excellent adhesion and the assembly time can be saved.
Overmolding is a great way to create “soft-touch” grip or handle by different durometer combination. Another common usage is to place metal piece into the mold before injection, and the melted plastic will mold around the insert component.
