Injection molding and overmolding are both plastic molding manufacturing processes. While both methods involve plastic molding, they have distinct differences. Supro Molding will explain the main differences.

Injection Molding

Injection molding is a plastic molding manufacturing process in which molten plastic pellets are injected into a mold cavity under high pressure. The plastic is then allowed to cool and release from the mold to form a solid plastic injection molded part. Supro molding uses injection molding as a precise and efficient process to produce large quantities of plastic parts.

Some of the key features of injection molding include:
Producing single material parts
Injecting material into the mold cavity in one step.
This process can be used to produce large quantities of parts using the consistency of injection molding.
As the production volume increases, the cost per part decreases.

overmolding Injection Molding
overmolding is a widely used plastic molding manufacturing process that involves molding one material and then adding another material to the mold cavity to enhance the functionality and durability of the product. Soft, rubber-like materials are often added to rigid plastic injection-molded parts to enhance their ergonomics, non-slip insulation, and aesthetics.

Some of the key features of overmolding include:
Producing two-material components

First, we mold the first material and then mold the second material over the first.
This process enhances the durability and aesthetics of the component.
The cost per part is higher than injection molding due to the additional technology of molding the second over the first.

Differences between injection molding and overmolding
The main differences between injection molding and overmolding are:
Quantity of material: Injection molding produces single material parts while overmolding produces dual material parts.
Process: Injection molding injects molten plastic into a mold cavity in a single shot, while overmolding involves molding the first material and then molding the second material over the first.
Purpose: We use injection molding to produce large quantities of plastic parts, while they use overmolding to enhance the durability and aesthetics of the plastic parts.
Cost: Injection molding typically has a lower cost per part than overmolding due to the additional process of molding the second material on top of the first.

Applications for Injection Molding and Overmolding

At super molding, injection molding is commonly used to produce consumer products, automotive parts, and medical devices. Overmolding is also commonly used to enhance the durability and aesthetics of electronic products such as cell phones and remote controls.

Hard overmolding adds a rigid plastic layer to an existing material, such as rubber or silicone, to create a more durable and protective surface. The result is a product that can withstand harsh environments, resist wear and tear, and withstand repeated use.

Here are some of the benefits of using hard overmolding in product design:

Increased Durability: Hard overmolding provides an additional layer of protection that can extend the life of a product. Protecting the underlying material from abrasion reduces the likelihood of damage or failure of the effect.
Improved Grip: By adding a tricky plastic layer to a soft material such as rubber or silicone, supro molding can create a better grip for the user. It is vital to consider this factor, especially for products used in wet or slippery environments.
Resistance to environmental factors: Hard overmolding protects products from sunlight, chemicals and other environmental factors that can cause damage over time. This enhancement improves the product’s ability to adapt and withstand a variety of environments.
Aesthetic appeal: Rigid overmolding can also improve the appearance of a product. By adding a clever layer of plastic, supro molding can create a smooth, polished appearance that would be impossible to achieve using a single material.
Customization: With hard overmolding, customers can customize their products by adding logos, colors and other design elements to the surface. This branding strategy helps increase market awareness.
supro molding uses hard overmolding in a variety of products, from industrial equipment to consumer electronics.

Here are some examples:
Handheld devices: Many handheld devices, such as cell phones and tablets, use hard overmolding to form a protective layer around the device. This feature helps protect the device from damage caused by drops and impacts.
Power Tools: Power tools are often exposed to harsh environments such as dust and debris. Hard overmolding protects these tools from damage and extends their life.
Medical equipment: Medical equipment requires high durability and resistance to environmental factors. Hard overmolding protects them and ensures that they function properly.

We expert moulds for 110 countries, our main markets are America,African , European and Middle East.

Yes, we have 20T， 60T， 80T ，90T,160T,250T,320T,390T,400T,450T,650T,800T injection machine for mould test and production.

If some spare part broken, we will send you new one. If the mould quality problem, we will repair and pay the ship cost. Or we make another new mould to you free.

We specialize in custom plastic molding products manufacturing for more than 20 years, we have rich manufacturing experience and technology, usually we can produce products of any structure and requirements. Suitable for all kinds of industries, please provide your design files, our expert team will analyze your products in detail.

We have our own in-house mold factory, we refuse any process of cutting corners, from design to manufacturing in our own factory, without any middleman, so our mold price is 20%-30% lower than many foreign trade type companies, submitting the real factory quotation to you.
(It is well known that many unscrupulous companies will use low quality materials for mold manufacturing, resulting in very low quotes, but the molds do not meet any industry standards and are very easy to damage. This is why choosing a mold maker is a very important part of the process)

Of course, this is one of our most important services and it is free of charge. We actively provide these technical supports, including: model flow analysis, DFM, etc. If you need our technical support, please contact us immediately. If you need our technical support, please contact us immediately and we will provide all technical resources without reservation.

Of course you can, although we will make a few adjustments to your molds to match our equipment, and once this is done we can produce the product you need. (We would appreciate it if you could provide us with the original mold design, it would be very helpful.)

Yes, we can do that, but we need you to provide us with a detailed drawing of the mold design and the design that needs to be changed, and we will analyze your mold to better meet your needs for new products. (Supro Molding is an experienced plastic molding mold maker, we know the latest technology in mold making, and we have a strong engineering team).

Of course, we don’t do any order limits. We understand that a lot of products are not responded to by the market, and a large investment will drag down your financial base and bring a huge financial risk.
At Supro Molding, we encourage all product development and design, and we can use the most cost-effective manufacturing solutions to help our customers reduce risk and save money, while not making any quantity limitations.
