Insert Molding
Insert Molding is the insert piece(or pieces) put into the mold cavity before injecting the plastic into the mold. The resulting product is a single piece with the insert encapsulated by the plastic. And the insert can be brass nut or other customized shape insert in metals or plastics.
Over Molding
Over molding is a multi-material injection molding process. Through Over molding, the over molding material (usually a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE / TPV)) is molded onto a first molded material, which is usually a rigid plastic.
