Imagine different streams of melted plastics being directed to one mold. Each stream consists of different colors or materials. The mold will then either rotate, move, or open for another flow of plastics to be added to the previous flow. This bond cannot be undone because of the force used in the process.

In two-shot injection molding, a machine injects one plastic first. Then it injects a second plastic right after. The two materials fuse without glue. Factories love it for making toothbrushes, car buttons, and phone cases.

In multi-material injection molding, an engineer can mold rubbers together with plastics or even transparent plastics together with colorful plastics. In such a case, there is room for smart design whereby the handle of the screwdriver can be rubber-like, while the inner part will remain strong. 

Overmolding and Insert Molding

The method enhances the functionality, look, and feel of the mold. Insert molding, on the other hand, is a process where different types of inserts are combined with plastics.

Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding

This type of molding produces flexible, biocompatible, and heat-resistant parts. The technique is applied in the medical, automotive, and consumer goods sectors.

Materials That Make It Possible

The engineers choose from over 100 materials, including plastics, elastomers, composite materials, and custom materials. Some of the commonly used materials are

• Kitchen tools with soft grips and hard blades
• Automotive parts like dashboards and light covers
• Medical devices needing clear and colored sections
• Consumer electronics such as keyboards and remote buttons
• Toys that show many colors without stickers
