Two shot injection molding

Hey there. Have you heard of something called two shot injection molding? That may sound a little confusing in the beginning but it’s actually a very interesting way to make many different things. In case you’re wondering what two shot injection moulding is, how it works, or why it’s a great process, we’re here to fill you in on all the details. So get a snack, sit back and enjoy this cool topic. 


Let’s begin first and explain what two shot injection molding means. This special technology not only drives companies to use two different materials at once to make a product in the same mold, so it's much more efficient. What does that mean for you? Well, suppose you have a toy car with a hard plastic body and soft rubber spinners. This plastic injection molding service would normally require you to create the body and wheels separately and then stick them together afterward. But with two shot injection molding, you can create that entire toy car in one go. It’s like making a great sandwich, you combine all the ingredients in one step rather than prepare each layer separately. Isn’t that nice and very efficient?

Benefits of using two shot injection molding in manufacturing

But before we get on with how two shot injection molding is very useful in production. The manufacturers do this mainly because it helps them save time and money. By using two different materials in the same mold, you can make really neat and complex products in half the time. That also means there’s less material left over that gets wasted, or thrown away. When companies are able to produce things faster, they can also decrease their prices. Additionally, dual molding creates stronger elements which intermesh more completely, as the two materials interconnect in the molding stage. So, the end product is not just a great visual but also highly functional.
