What is Custom Overmolding Process

What is Custom Overmolding Process
  • Overmolding process is a manufacturing process in which a material is molded onto another material or substrate to create a single integrated part. This process involves using a second material, typically a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), to cover and bond with a pre-formed part, such as a plastic or metal component.
  • The overmolding process can provide several benefits, including improved grip, cushioning, and durability. Overmolding is often used in the production of consumer goods such as toothbrushes, power tools, and electronic devices.
  • Overmolding can also be used to create multi-material parts with different properties, such as rigid and flexible areas within the same part. This process can be achieved through various methods, including injection molding, insert molding, and two-shot molding

3
Prototyping and Rapid Molding
Before creating the plastic over molding molds, we choose to use rapid molding or CNC machining, or 3D printing technology to manufacture the initial prototype to verify the actual feasibility of the over molded parts
4
Mold Making
We design and manufacture plastic over-molding molds according to the most reasonable over molding process and mold structure. A superb plastic over molding is the premise of providing a high-quality product
5
Final Sample Confirmation
We verify the feasibility and cost control of custom overmolding parts by the T0 of the final mold. Improve product quality and reduce mass production costs through mold optimization
6
Trial Production
An experienced overmolding manufacturer will conduct a small batch trial production of the custom over molded parts before mass production, this is to check the stability of the final mold and the consistency of the final product
7
Mass Production
We continuously optimize the over molding mold structure and production process in mass production to ensure quality while reducing costs, providing customers with stronger market competitiveness

Advantages of TPE Overmolding Process

TPE can be used for overmolding process and two-color injection molding. As a soft material, TPE is usually matched with hard materials, mainly plastics and metals. TPE can be used with some commonly used plastics PP, GPPS, HIPS, ABS, and engineering plastics PC, PC/ABS, PA, and its modified materials are firmly bonded.
Advantages of TPE Overmolding Process
  • Good flexibility and elasticity make it suitable for the manufacture of products that require protection, such as mobile phone cases, electronic product cases, handles, etc.
  • Good durability can provide reliable protection performance, making it suitable for manufacturing products that require durability, such as automotive interior parts, outdoor products, etc.
  • Strong oxidation resistance and weather resistance can be used in outdoor environments for a long time without being affected, making it suitable for the manufacture of products that require weather resistance, such as outdoor products, swimming equipment, etc.

Overmolding Process Applications

Overmolding is a plastic injection molding process in which a second material is molded over a substrate material to create a finished product with improved functionality, aesthetics, or durability. Here are some of the common applications of over-molding:
Soft Grip Handles
Seals and Gaskets
Electrical Connectors
Medical Devices
Automotive Parts
Soft Grip Handles
Soft Grip Handles
Overmolding can be used to create soft grip handles for hand-held tools, sporting goods, and electronic devices. The soft material provides a comfortable and slip-resistant grip, while the substrate material provides structural support.
