Consumer Product Overmolding: SunOn High-Precision Solutions
- In the current competitive manufacturing environment, it is no longer an option to design consumer products that are durable, ergonomic, and aesthetically pleasing, but rather a necessity. Consumer product overmolding is one of the innovative solutions that enable manufacturers to create soft-touch, multi-material, as well as high-performance parts with a very high level of precision and consistency.
- SunOn focuses on consumer overmolding and provides the overmolding of electronics, automotive, medical, and consumer goods industries. Having years of experience in the area of plastic injection molding and TPE overmolding of consumer products, SunOn guarantees that each product will be of the best quality, durability, and design.
Understanding Overmolding of Consumer Products
Consumer overmolding denotes the act of molding one material on top of another material in generally combining a soft elastomer such as TPE or silicone with a hard plastic base. This is a two-material solution that offers an ergonomic surface, shock absorbency, and soft-touch finishes to the products that make them more convenient and easy to use.
The benefits of consumer product over molding are:
- Finishes on surfaces that are soft to the touch and more user-friendly.
- Absorption of shock and vibration in industrial and domestic products.
- Sustainable consumer products, Chemical and temperature resistance.
- Assembly-free multi-material integration.
- Molding with high precision of complex geometries.
The consumer product overmolding service provided by SunOn is guaranteed to achieve dimensional stability, high adhesion strength, and short-term performance of each part, whatever the purpose may be, be it electronics cases, ergonomic parts, or kitchenware.
Consumer Product Overmolding Process
A blend of high engineering, finely tuned tooling, and state-of-the-art molding technology is used by SunOn in the production of overmolded components that are free of defects.
Material Selection
The selection of compatible materials is the first step in overmolding. In order to bond and make sure that the bonding is perfect and lasting, SunOn tests TPE, silicone, plastics, and rubbers according to their mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties.
Mold Design and Engineering
The design of professional consumer product molds requires a high degree of precision. SunOn engineers optimize:
- Balanced material flow design/runner system engineering, Gate design, and materials flow.
- Optimization of cooling channels in order to minimize the cycle times.
- Choosing the mold steel (H13, S136, P20) according to its long-lastingness and accuracy.
- Scalable production with multi-cavity moulds.
Injection Overmolding
In the process of consumer product overmold service, molten TPE or rubber is injected over the pre-shaped substrate. Temperature, pressure, and injection speed are adjusted in order to get the best bonding strength and soft-touch finishes.
Quality Assurance
SunOn undertakes stringent adhesion, dimensional, and tolerance checks to confirm that all of the overmolded consumer products are of global quality.
