Description:
FORWA provides a number of specialized plastic injection molding services, including overmolding, which is the process of combining two or more molded plastic or elastomer parts to make a single finished product.
Overmolding is a very difficult process, requiring adherence to the very tightest of tolerances. The general concept is quite similar to insert molding, but has more opportunity for mistake and a much smaller margin of error. We utilize the finest high-tech injection molding equipment for our services for the highest possible quality and superb repeatability.
Because the materials we use shrink as they cool following the molding process, special consideration must be made in the creation of our molds. And, as FORWA uses a number of different materials in overmolding, all of which have different cooling/shrinking properties, it is crucial that we create our molds to match the specific properties of the material(s) being used.
