Overmoulding
Two-shot injection moulding involves first injecting one material into a mould to form the initial part or section of a part.
Once formed, a second material is injected into the mould to form the remainder of the part. This process allows for materials with different characteristics to be processed together. This automated solution allows for complex components to be produced quickly, accurately and cost effectively.
Over moulding or ‘insert moulding’ consists of placing a preformed part (or section of a part) into an injection mould and injecting a material around it. If the insert and the material are compatible a melt bond occurs between the two materials, otherwise a mechanical bond needs to be formed. Inject offer either manual overmoulding (by hand) or fully automated solutions using robots.
