“This is a game-changer,” said
Product designers and engineers use overmolding to improve grip and durability, dampen vibration, and to add two-color aesthetics to parts. The process can also reduce manufacturing costs by simplifying multi-part assemblies. As the name implies, overmolded parts go through a multi-step process, which results in common products like tool handles, personal care products, medical devices and more. The speed at which these parts can be created with Proto Labs’ rapid injection molding services is unprecedented. Proto Labs’ overmolding process uses engineering-grade thermoplastics and liquid silicone rubber materials to create overmolded prototypes and end-use production parts.
“Proto Labs was able to deliver high-quality, overmolded parts in just
15 days from the time I placed the order. This turnaround time allowed
me to validate my design — using production-grade materials — much
sooner than ever before,” said
