Injection Molding Services for Custom Parts
Choose the right injection molding solution based on your material, production volume, part requirements, and application. Explore the specific service that fits your project or send your drawing for a manufacturing recommendation.
Choose the Right Injection Molding Process
Different parts require different molding approaches. Start with the material and function of your part to identify the most suitable process for your application, whether you need rigid plastic parts,
flexible rubber components, multi-material construction, or molded-in inserts.
Plastic Injection Molding
For rigid thermoplastic parts requiring repeatable dimensions, complex geometries, and scalable production.

Can I combine rubber and plastic in one part?
Yes — that's what overmolding is for. A rigid plastic substrate is molded first, then a rubber or TPE layer is molded onto it in a second step.
Is overmolding or insert molding cheaper?
It depends on the part, but insert molding typically has a lower piece cost since it uses one material and eliminates a secondary assembly step. Overmolding usually costs more due to the two-material, two-shot process — but it replaces a bonding or assembly step you'd otherwise need to do separately.
Do I need insert molding if I just want a soft grip on a handle?
No — that's overmolding. Insert molding is for adding non-moldable components like metal threads or contacts, not for adding a soft-touch surface.
Can plastic injection molding replace rubber for a sealing application?
Not reliably for repeated compression sealing. Some flexible plastics (like TPU) can approximate rubber's flexibility, but for a true compression seal that needs to hold up over thousands of cycles, rubber is the safer choice.
What if I don't know which process my part needs?
Upload your drawing and we'll recommend a process based on your part's material requirements, tolerances, and application — no obligation to quote.
