Precision Overmolds for Plastic Auto Parts
Expert Overmolding Services for Automotive Parts
Our company specializes in creating high-precision overmolds for a variety of plastic auto parts, such as auto lamp guards and internal door components. With extensive experience in the industry, we provide top-tier precision mold services tailored to your needs.
Overmolding Process
Our overmolding process involves a two-step operation:
First Injection: Produce the hard part using materials like PC+ABS, PA6, or ABS.
Second Injection: Place the hard part into a second mold to overmold the soft part using materials such as TPE or EVA, ensuring excellent adhesion between the two materials.
This method is particularly suitable for small order volumes, offering a cost-effective solution for producing complex parts.
Advantages of Overmolding
Cost-Effective: Use standard injection molding machines for two materials or colors, avoiding the need for expensive two-color injection molding machines.
Lower Investment: Compared to 2K molds, the investment for overmolding is lower, especially for small quantities.
Considerations
While overmolding offers several benefits, it’s important to note the potential challenges:
Longer Cycle Times: The overmolding process can have longer forming cycles.
Quality Stability: Achieving consistent quality can be challenging and may require manual placement of parts.
Materials Used
Hard Parts: Typically made from durable materials like PC+ABS, PA6, and ABS.
Soft Parts: Utilize flexible materials such as TPE and EVA to ensure good adhesion with the hard parts.
