Overmolding Vs. Insert Molding

Compression molding is a highly efficient manufacturing process used to produce high-quality rubber and composite parts.

What is Overmolding?

Overmolding is a manufacturing process that involves molding a second material, typically a softer or more flexible material, over a base or substrate material. This creates a multi-material component with enhanced functionality and improved aesthetics.

What is Insert Molding?

Insert molding is a process where a pre-formed insert, such as a metal or plastic component, is placed into the mold cavity before the injection molding process. The molten material then surrounds and bonds with the insert, creating a strong and integrated part.

Understanding the Difference

The main difference between overmolding and insert molding lies in the timing and positioning of the additional material. Overmolding adds the second material directly onto the base material, while insert molding incorporates a pre-formed insert. Each technique offers unique advantages depending on the design requirements and desired product characteristics.

Semi-glossy

8 grade finishes use grit sandpaper to produce parts with a slightly rougher finish than grade A parts. Custom molded plastic parts that undergo B grade finishing have a matte surface textture

Matte

C grade finishes use grit sanding stones to produce a rough, uneven surface. Injection plastic parts that undergo C grade finishing have a matte surface texture.
