Our Overmolding Options

At TryCooler, we support different overmolding solutions to combine materials, improve product performance, and create durable multi-material parts for your application.

Plastic Over Plastic
Plastic Over Plastic

Combine two plastic materials or colors into one molded part to improve structure, appearance, and product functionality while reducing secondary assembly.

Soft Material Over Plastic
Soft Material Over Plastic

Mold TPE, TPU, silicone, or rubber-like materials over rigid plastic substrates to improve grip, comfort, sealing, and impact protection.

Plastic Over Metal
Plastic Over Metal

Encapsulate metal inserts, threaded studs, bushings, or cores with plastic to improve strength, insulation, and part integration.

Soft Material Over Metal
Soft Material Over Metal

Bond flexible elastomers or silicone materials to metal substrates for vibration damping, sealing, protection, and long-term durability.

Ready to Enhance Your Products With Overmolding? Partner with TryCooler

Send us your CAD drawings, sample, or project requirements. TryCooler will review your part structure, material needs, and application goals to help you find a practical overmolding solution. Let’s turn your idea into durable, well-finished, production-ready overmolded parts. 

Material Pairing for Reliable Overmolded Parts

Not every soft material bonds reliably with rigid substrates.

TryCooler reviews material fit, bonding design, and molding feasibility before tooling to reduce peeling, poor adhesion, and production risks.

Our Overmolding Process

A clear workflow from design review to production-ready overmolded parts.

Design Review and DFM Support

We review your drawings, material requirements, bonding areas and tooling feasibility before mold making.

Material Selection and Tooling Plan

We recommend suitable plastic, TPE, TPU, silicone or insert overmolding solutions based on your application.

Mold Making and T1 Samples

T1 samples are provided for dimension, appearance, bonding and functional verification.

Small Batch Trial and Mass Production

We support prototype validation, small batch trials and stable OEM mass production.

Final Inspection and Delivery

Finished parts are checked for dimensions, bonding, appearance, assembly fit and packaging before shipment.

What materials can be used for overmolding?

Common materials include ABS, PC, PP, PA, TPE, TPU, silicone, LSR, and metal inserts. The final material choice depends on bonding, hardness, product function, and application environment.

Can you check if my part is suitable for overmolding?

Yes. TryCooler can review your 3D files, material requirements, bonding areas, overmold thickness, and tooling feasibility before mold making.

How do you reduce peeling or poor bonding risks?

We review material compatibility, bonding structure, mechanical interlock, overmolded edges, and molding feasibility before tooling to help reduce peeling and weak adhesion risks.

What files do you need for a quotation?

STEP or STP 3D files are preferred. We can also review 2D drawings, samples, product photos, material requirements, estimated quantity, and application details.

Do you support prototype or small batch production?

Yes. We support prototype samples, small batch trials, and OEM mass production based on your product structure and tooling requirements.

How do you control overmolded part quality?

Our ISO 9001:2015 certified process helps ensure consistent quality in every production batch. We check material, bonding, dimensions, appearance, hardness, assembly fit, packaging, and final shipment requirements.

Can you protect our drawings and product design?

Yes. Your drawings, samples, and project information can be kept secure and confidential. NNN or NDA support is available for custom OEM and ODM projects.

What Factors Affect the Cost of Overmolding?

Overmolding cost is mainly affected by material choice, mold complexity, part size, tolerance, bonding requirements, order quantity, surface finish, and secondary operations. TryCooler reviews your drawings and application needs to recommend a cost-effective and stable production solution.
