Two-component moulding

What is two-component molding

Two-component or bi-material molding is the combination of two different injection moulding processes of different plastics or engineering plastics. Specifically, it is an overmolding of components with different materials, colors and characteristics to obtain high quality items, at an aesthetic and performance level, and with combined characteristics.

Two-component moulding

The advantages

Items made through two-component or bimaterial molding are efficient and of a high standard. Here are the main advantages:

image

Fast production

Two-component molding allows you to eliminate assemblies and reduce cycles.

image

Top performance

With bimaterial molding you make products with the highest quality characteristics.

image

Incredible aesthetic rendering

With a single action you can get two-color, aesthetically perfect artifacts.

Economic savings

More precise production, without smearing or imperfections. For you, it means less waste.

Two-component moulding

How it works

Moulding of components with materials with different stiffness, carried out in a single action: maximum effectiveness and practicality.

With the presses equipped with satellite injectors we can obtain components with different materials and colors using both over-molding and co-molding techniques.

The two-material presses, unlike the mono-material grips, give the possibility to print two different thermoplastics in the same mould, thanks to two independent injection groups.

The types of molding over the years have differed according to the material to be processed and the shapes and characteristics you wish to achieve. Learn about our molding services.

Injection moulding

We do single-material molding: we make components with a type of injection involving only one type of polymer or thermoplastic material.

Gas assisted molding

This process, also referred to as GAIM (Gas Assisted Injection Moulding), involves the insertion of gas into a duct to make a “hollow” article inside.

Co-molding

This type of molding allows plastic materials to be fused with other different materials such as metal, brass, or aluminum. The result is a piece of plastic firmly coupled with an insert encapsulated in it.
