Overmolding can be used to enhance many features of product designs, including:
Overmolding Process Types
Two injection molding processes dominate the manufacture of overmolded products: insert molding
and multi-shot injection molding.
Overmolding Process Selection
A processor will weigh numerous factors when choosing the appropriate manufacturing method
for the application.
