Two-Shot Molding

Two-shot molding is a process by which two different polymers are injected through individual nozzles to form one part. This forms two components together right out of the mold, without the need for any additional assembly work.

Depending on your needs, two-shot molding can be utilized to provide a variety of benefits. Some of the more common uses include soft or "grippy" handle surfaces, sealing gaskets, movable components, and adding color to your product. Generally, two-shot molding should be looked at as a potential solution any time your product requires one part with the properties of different materials in different areas.

The real advantages of two-shot molding are economical. When used properly, two-shot molding can help remove post-manufacture assembly steps while increasing the integrity of the part. This can help decrease production time and lower costs, while providing an even higher quality product.
