We’ve all seen single-piece mass-produced plastic injection molding parts – crudely made small toys come to mind. This also extends to individual simple parts, where tolerances are wider, and it’s a game of volume over quality. But some industries and some clients need something else – not only a different kind of injection molding but also quality over quantity. Today we’ll be looking at low-volume electronic parts, a field of injection molding that requires flexibility and quality control on behalf of the manufacturer.

The Difference Between Double Shot Molding and Overmolding

The Difference Between Double Shot Molding and Overmolding

There are a variety of manufacturing methods used to create plastic molded products. Two methods mentioned in this article, double shot molding and overmolding, are viable manufacturing processes that offer several advantages for many plastic manufacturers. Both processes can be difficult to master since they require adherence to the very tightest of tolerances. Below, we discuss the differences and advantages between double shot molding and overmolding. [Read more…] about The Difference Between Double Shot Molding and Overmolding
