overmolding

  While injection overmolding and 2K injection molding (also known as 2-shot injection moulding) share many similarities, they also have some key differences. See below for the difference between those two moulding processes.

Injection overmolding involves the use of a standard single-nozzle injection machine to combine two distinct types of materials into a single solid product. The overmolding manufacturing process means moving the first part (substrate part) or metal inserts to the subsequent mould (overmold) to create the final product. You can use this technology to add a soft-touch grip to a tool handle or to create a product with multiple colors or textures.
