The design and manufacturing of injection molding molds for embedded parts need to consider the following key factors
What is the difference between overmold and insert mold?
The over mold and the insert mold are not the same concept.
Plastic injection over mold refers to injecting a layer of plastic with different materials onto the outer layer of the already formed plastic part to achieve specific performance or appearance effects. For example, to increase tactile comfort or improve slip resistance, a layer of soft plastic is wrapped on the outer layer of hard plastic.
Insert injection molding molds place pre prepared metal or other material parts in the mold during the injection molding process, and then inject plastic to wrap and fix them, making the insert a part of the injection molded part, thereby endowing the injection molded part with specific functions or structures. In short, the main difference between the two lies in the different objects being processed. One is to inject the outer layer of the formed plastic part, and the other is to embed parts made of other materials during injection molding.
