Overmolding
Overmolding has become one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to create components that combine silicone elastomer bodies with metal, thermoplastic or thermoset inserts or substrates.
E&D Engineering's experience in tooling and molding complex parts makes us your go-to source for low- to mid-volume overmolding.
Our design and engineering experts can solve the most difficult design challenge, and nobody in our region is better trained or equipped for the precise tooling requirements.
E&D's injection molding equipment can produce components up to ¼ by 10 by 10 inches while meeting any overmolding requirements. And we're experienced in overmolding nearly any substrate - including tricky thermoplastics that require special treatment to guarantee adhesion.
We can increase your efficiency even more with one-stop service. E&D has a network of the best thermoplastic/thermoset injection molding suppliers - and we can machine metal or rigid thermoplastic inserts in our state-of-the-art CNC machine shop.
Our overmolding experience includes:
- handles for surgical-grade screwdrivers
- seals for fasteners
- grips and handles with threaded metal or engineered plastic inserts
- grips for electronic plugs
- integrated gaskets and seals
