2K mould and over mold

2K mold, also known as a double injection mold, is designed to combine two different plastic materials in a single molding process. It typically includes two or more independent injection systems that can inject different plastic materials either simultaneously or sequentially. This results in a plastic product with a two-color or multi-color effect.

Yixun's Expertise: Yixun has extensive experience in designing and building 2K molds and handling 2K molding mass production. We are equipped with 2K injection machines to facilitate this specialized process. 

 

Overmolding

Overmolding is a process where a layer of plastic is added onto an already molded plastic part. Using the injection molding process, another plastic material is wrapped around the surface of the finished part to enhance its appearance, increase functionality, or improve durability.

Insert molding is an injection molding process where pre-manufactured components, known as inserts or insert parts, are placed into a mold cavity before molten plastic is injected around them. This technique results in a single, integrated part where the insert becomes encapsulated by the plastic, creating a strong bond between the materials.

 

Comparing The 2k mold & Overmold & Insert Mold

 Have Below Differents

Processing Comparison

2K Shot Molding
Process: One-step molding with precise control.
Overmolding
Process: Two-step: prepare base, then inject material.
Insert Molding
Process: Place inserts, then inject plastic.

Production Flexibility

2K Shot Molding: High flexibility in production, allowing adjustments in material combinations to meet different needs.
Overmolding: Good flexibility, enabling changes in base materials or overmolded materials according to requirements.
Insert Molding: Lower flexibility, as inserts are usually custom-made and not easily changed.
 

Cost

2K Shot Molding: Higher costs due to the need for complex molds and more sophisticated equipment.
Overmolding: Moderate costs, depending on the manufacturing cost of the base part.
Insert Molding: Higher costs because it involves preparing and precisely placing custom inserts.

Application Range

2K Shot Molding: Suitable for applications requiring the combination of properties from two materials.
Overmolding: Suitable for enhancing the functionality or aesthetics of existing components.
Insert Molding: Suitable for integrating plastic with other materials.
