Differences and connections of Overmold and Two color mold

Moulds are various molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain required products by injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die-casting or forging molding, smelting, stamping and other methods. In short, a mold is a tool used to shape objects. This tool is composed of various parts. Different molds are composed of different parts. It mainly realizes the processing of article shape by changing the physical state of the formed materials. It is known as

Advantages and disadvantages of two-shot mold and overmold

Advantages and disadvantages of two-shot mold and overmold   1. Two-shot mold (1) Advantages: It can be molded and processed by ordinary injection molding machines, and the investment in equipment is relatively small; (2) Disadvantages: It is not suitable for precision double material and multi material injection molding products; The molding processing cycle is relatively long, and the production efficiency is lower than that of the two-color mold. 2. Overmold (1) Advantages: – The molding

Design Differences Between Two Shot Mold And Overmold

1、 Two shot mold A mold in which two plastic materials are injected on the same injection molding machine and molded twice, but the product is only molded once. Generally, this molding process is also called double material injection molding, which is usually completed by a set of molds and requires a special two-color injection molding machine. 2、 overmold (secondary molding) The two plastic materials are not necessarily injected on the same injection molding machine,

Difference Between Rubber Coated Mold And Two-color Mold

1. Two color mold: the mold in which two plastic materials are injected on the same injection molding machine and molded in two times, but the product is only molded once. Generally, this molding process is also called double material injection molding, which is usually completed by a set of molds and requires a special two-color injection molding machine. The two-color mold can turn two resins and colors with different characteristics into a single two-color

When Do We Need Hot Runner In Two-color Mold Manufacturing?

In two-color mold manufacturing, hot runner is sometimes used. The hot runner mold is a mold that uses a heating device to make the melt in the runner never solidify. Because it has shorter forming cycle than traditional dies and saves more raw materials, hot runner dies are widely used in developed countries and regions in the world. A hot runner system is required for the following situations: Injection molding products with strict quality requirements.

Two-shot Mold Design Guide

Attention must be paid to in the design of two-color mold 1. Basic principles of two-color injection mold design: (1) Make hard glue once and soft glue twice; (2) Transparent once, non transparent twice; (3) The plastic with high injection molding temperature shall be made once, and the plastic with low molding temperature shall be made twice; 2. The guide pillar and guide sleeve of the mold must be symmetrical from top to bottom, from
