Optimizing Part Design with Thermoplastic Composite Injection Overmolding: How localized reinforcement can reduce weight and improve performance
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/forming-methods-and-applications?rtype[]=1164
The design flexibility of thermoplastic resins enables the use of high-volume thermal forming manufacturing processes such as compression molding and vacuum forming with CFRTP materials.
CFRTP can also be molded on or into thermoplastic structures via hybrid compression and injection overmolding to create locally reinforced, molded components in a one-step process.
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites offer a balance of performance characteristics with design and processing flexibility that is unmatched by other composite materials.

Part Design
Part design and molding conditions can be just as important as polymer formulation.
Proper positioning of the gate, or mold opening, and proper mold design can minimize flaws.
Runners should be designed with a full round gate and no sharp corners.1
