OUR EXPERTISE
Overmolding: Enhancing Product Performance And Aesthetics
Overmolding is a manufacturing process that involves molding two or morematerials together to create a single component.This process is used to improve the product’s functionality, aesthetics, anddurability by incorporating different materials with varying properties into asingle part. Overmolding can also be used to create a soft-touch grip orprovide additional protection to electronic components.The two-shot molding process is one particular type of overmolding.Nonetheless, at Xtmade, we distinguish between these two. We usually referto the overmolding process as an injection molding process that requirestwo injection cycles to complete.Our team of experienced engineers and technicians work closely with ourclients to select the most suitable materials and develop the optimalmolding process for their project.

What is Plastic Overmolding?
Overmolding involves molding platic on plastic or plastic on metal to create a high-strength bond between the iniection molded part and the overmolded part. As everything happens in a single operation, the need for assembly is eliminated.Although, this process may sound similar to two-shot molding, its single step process sets the two appart.
Common applications include creating two-tone aesthetics, gaskets and seals, and adding grips and buttons or hardware components to plastic parts.

Overmolding Design Tips
- Wall thicknesses between 0.060 in. and 0.120 in. (1.5 mm to 3 mm) generally provice suitable bonding.
- Keeping radi between 0.020″ or 0.5mm minimum in corners reduces localized stresses.
- If the part requires the use of thick TPE sections, they should be cored out to minimize shrinkage problems,reduce the part weight and lower cycle time.
- Avoid deep or un-ventable blind pockets or ribs in your design.
- Use gradual transitions between wall thickness to reduce or avoid problems with flow (back fills, gas traps, etc.)
- The TPE/TPV should be less thick than the substrate to prevent warpage, especially if the part is flat, long, or both.
- Overmolding needs mechanical or chemical bonding to the substrate, so your overmold material choices should enable this.
