Injection Molding - Thermoplastics Injection molding creates molded parts by injecting heated, molten plastic materials into a mold, which are then cooled and solidified.
This design flexibility also enables engineers to reassess assemblies and take advantage of consolidating multiple parts into one molded offering.
Injection molded long fiber composites deliver comparable performance characteristics to metals and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.

Mold Design Recommendations Gates 1.
Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.
If material is not in the recommended moisture percentage, continue to dry material until it is in an acceptable range for molding.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Overmolding_of_Thermoplastic_Elastomers_Engineered_solutions_for_consumer_product_differentiation.pdf
The two primary over-molding processes are Multiple Material Molding and Insert Molding.
Multiple Material Molding Multiple Material Molding is also sometimes called multicolor or two-shot injection molding.
Insert Molding uses conventional injection molding equipment.
