Multi-Shot Molding

Multi-shot molding is the combination of two or more resins into a single product using tooling that allows multiple resins to be injected individually into specific areas. Typical applications include 'soft-touch' materials molded onto an enclosure (drill housing or handle) or multiple colors/materials molded together for aesthetic or functional purposes. Multi-shot molding is similar to overmolding, but is better suited for higher volume production where the payback from lower part cost justifies the initial capital investment. ECP has broad experience in the development and manufacture of multi-shot products.
