Plastic parts can get even better with overmolding. We are big fans of overmolding at Dakunlun because it’s what makes our plastic parts stand out and become unique. Why Overmolding is Important for Custom Plastic Parts Read on.
What is Overmolding?
Overmolding is a great process where you get to put two materials together to make one fantastic part. The primary material is typically a tough plastic such as ABS or polycarbonate. The second is a soft rubber or silicone, which goes over the plastic. When the two materials are combined, they form a part that is strong but also flexible.
Why is Overmolding Great?
One of the biggest benefits of overmolding is that it strengthen plastics parts. With a soft rubbery layer on top, however, the part can withstand scratches and hits. That’s good because it helps the part last longer and look nicer. Overmolding also improves grip or feel of part, a plus for tools or handles.
The Advantages of Overmolding
Overmolded plastic components offer numerous advantages. Why this is cool: One huge reason is because it allows us to make elements in a variety of colors or textures. This is what gives the parts a really cool and unique look. Overmolding is also what allows us to produce parts with intricate designs or patterns that would be challenging to manufacture from a single material, alone. And overmolding is a fast process that saves time and money.
Next Generation Custom Plastic Parts Manufacturing
The modern state of overmolding As technology improves, overmolding has become more sought-after in custom plastic parts creation. This is because overmolding is superior to older techniques in several key ways. We can expect to see even more novel applications of overmolding in the future, of parts that are stronger, more functional, and more beautiful than ever. We are pleased to be a part of the shift at Dakunlun in how plastic parts are made.
Overmolding and Design of Plastic Parts
With overmolding the plastic part design possibilities are infinite. We get to combine various materials, colors, and textures to develop parts that are one of a kind. With overmolding, the reach of our imagination is the only limit we face when it comes to designing plastic parts. Overmolding enables us to create plastic parts that aren’t just functional and durable, but also fashionable and unique.
As a result, overmolding is revolutionizing how we manufacture custom plastic parts. It allows us to make stronger, more useful and more beautiful parts. At manufacturer, we're proud to offer overmolding services to differentiate our plastic parts.
