3 Key Elements To Consider When Designing Injection-Molded Parts With Rapid Overmolding

Injection molding is a parts manufacturing process used for a wide range of products including medical devices, children’s toys, household appliances, and automobile parts. Sometimes a second molded part is added as a grip, handle, cover, or sleeve to cover vibration resistance, slippery surfaces, poor ergonomics, and cosmetic concerns.
