What are the types of plastic injection molding?

1. Standard Molding: This is the most basic technique where a single color and material are used to produce the part. It is commonly used for manufacturing beverage containers, caps, auto parts, and toys.

2. Overmolding: This technique involves a two-step process to produce items that require two different types of plastic. The substrate part is first produced, and then each part is individually moved to another mold where another thermoplastic is molded over the substrate. This is commonly used for producing items with soft outer materials for improved grip.

4. Two-Shot (Dual-Shot) Molding: This technique allows for the creation of a part or product using multiple colors and plastic types simultaneously, without the need for a multi-stage assembly process. It is done in one molding press, where a substrate is first injected by the primary press barrel, and then mold steel is exchanged for the second shot. This technique is commonly used for creating products with branded-color handles or multiple color components.
