Custom Overmold Tooling Solutions | Multi-Material Molds
High-Precision Solutions to Modern-Day Manufacturing
The modern manufacturing sector is characterized by a high pace, and precision, efficiency, and versatility are the keystones of the provision of high-quality parts. Custom overmold tooling has become one of the pillars of technology in the industry that needs parts that are multi-material and with high precision to be molded. In the automotive interiors sector, consumer products, electronics, and medical equipment, overmold tooling can provide products of high quality and maximize the efficiency of production.
At SunOn Mould, we focus on providing state-of-the-art overmolding tooling solutions that are based on both innovative technology and manufacturing experience. A unique production requirement means that our custom injection overmolding tooling services and multi-material overmolding tooling services are designed to fit your specific requirements, making them durable, more accurate, and providing high performance.
What Does Custom Overmold Tooling Mean?
The process of creating and producing mold types that enable two or more materials, usually plastic and rubber, to be molded together smoothly is called custom overmold tooling. Also known as two-shot or multi-shot overmolding, this operation is necessary in the creation of ergonomic handles, soft-touch consumer parts, automotive parts, and electronic housings.
The overmold tooling is tailored to specific part geometries, material combinations, and volumes of production, unlike ordinary molds. Through overmould design and high-precision overmould tooling, manufacturers can attain a high level of dimensional accuracy, high material adhesion, and high surface finishing.
The Major Benefits of Custom Overmold Tooling
High-quality overmold tooling has many advantages:
Great Accuracy and Uniformity
SunOn produces molds with consistent dimensions across thousands of production cycles through cutting-edge CNC mold production in the form of overmolding, EDM tooling production, and tooling tolerance management. This guarantees the production of all parts that are of design specifications with few defects.
Multi-Material Capabilities
A combination of soft-touch elastomers, TPEs, and rigid plastics in a single part is possible using our multi-material overmolding tooling. This feature is critical in ergonomic handles, consumer electronics, and medical equipment that need comfort and durability.
Efficient Production Optimization
Optimization used in overmold tooling is to reduce delays in manufacturing, optimize cooling channels, and also optimization of the cycle time, which makes the manufacturing more efficient.
Strong Material Bonding
Both the necessary adhesion and bonding strength, along with elastomer to plastic overmolding, guarantee that the parts can withstand the operational stresses, which can give them the ability to last long and be reliable.
Versatile Applications
Custom overmold molds are used in a broad array of industries, parts, and materials in automotive overmold tooling, consumer product overmolding, electronics, and medical device tooling.

Technical Know-How in the Excellence of Overmold Tooling
The production of high-precision overmold molds that have to be durable cannot be carried out without sophisticated machinery. It requires in-depth technical expertise and careful planning. The following are the technical areas that we streamline:
Mold Flow and Runner System Design
On the engineering of an over-molding and a runner system, we are able to mold flow uniformly through the use of mold flow analysis that reduces air traps, weld lines, and surface defects.
Optimization of Cooling Channels
Effective design of cooling channels ensures that the temperature in parts remains constant throughout injection, creating shorter cycle times and eliminating warping in multi-material parts.
Gate Design and Tolerance Control
Optimization of the design of gates and extreme control of the tooling tolerance allow placing the material with precise placement, achievements in adhesion between materials, and uniform finishes of the surface.
Choice of Material and Mold Construction
We select mold steels, including H13, S136, or P20, depending on the needs of the parts. Special skill in building molds and cores will guarantee the durability of molds with high-volume production.
Applications
Custom over-mold tooling is utilized in a wide range of industries, and it offers the solution to the parts that need to be precise, durable, and ergonomically designed.
Automotive Industry
In soft-touch grips and dashboard trims, automotive overmold tools create components that are resistant to high wear, vibration, and temperature changes.
Consumer Products
Tooling of consumer products allows ergonomic handles, soft-touch grips, and protective casings, which are more convenient and comfortable.
Electronics
The advantages of overmolded electronics are high-precision overmold tooling, tight tolerances, and dependable insulation of delicate electronic devices.
Medical Devices
Medical overmolding needs molds capable of making sterile, biocompatible parts with high dimensional requirements.
Industrial Equipment
The components of engines and other machinery of industries frequently need shock-resistant or shielded parts that are manufactured with industrial-level overmolding equipment.
