We have written an article about this topic, and you can read it here! (https://www.levic.com/what-is-overmolding/) Basically, overmolding in Missouri is a process that has many ways that can assist you and your business today. This process includes two or more materials being molded into one. It is the process of taking a part and using plastic injection molding in Missouri to add additional layers over the current part. With overmolding, you essentially take two different plastics and combine them into one part. Traditionally, overmolding starts with injection molding a hard plastic resin that has a higher melting point. Then, once that part is cooled, another plastic resin is injection molded over the first part. Usually, this is to create a grip or accents on the original part.
