“This is a game-changer,” said Proto Labs CEO Vicki Holt. “Proto
Labs is focused on accelerating product development, and the
introduction of rapid overmolding gives designers and developers at
the world’s largest companies one more tool to make high-quality
prototype or low-volume production parts as quickly as
possible.”
Product designers and engineers use overmolding to improve grip
and durability, dampen vibration, and to add two-color aesthetics
to parts. The process can also reduce manufacturing costs by
simplifying multi-part assemblies. As the name implies, overmolded
parts go through a multi-step process, which results in common
products like tool handles, personal care products, medical devices
and more. The speed at which these parts can be created with Proto
Labs’ rapid injection molding services is unprecedented. Proto
Labs’ overmolding process uses engineering-grade thermoplastics and
liquid silicone rubber materials to create overmolded prototypes
and end-use production parts.
“Proto Labs was able to deliver high-quality, overmolded parts
in just 15 days from the time I placed the order. This turnaround
time allowed me to validate my design — using production-grade
materials — much sooner than ever before,” said Michael Ackner, a
senior mechanical engineer at Smiths Medical and early Proto Labs
overmolding customer.
Proto Labs will be at the International Manufacturing Technology
Show (IMTS) in Chicago, September 12-17. Visit booth #N-72 to learn
