plastic injection overmolding
Plastic injection overmolding is a sophisticated technique used in manufacturing to create complex plastic products with two or more materials in a single process. The main function of overmolding is to encapsulate one material, typically a metal insert or a previously molded plastic part, with a second material, thus providing a finished product with enhanced functionality and aesthetic appeal. Technological features of overmolding include precision molds, high-pressure injection, and the ability to use a variety of materials, which are crucial for achieving a perfect bond between the substrates. This process finds extensive applications across industries such as automotive, medical devices, electronics, and consumer goods, where parts requiring both structural integrity and cosmetic finish are needed.
