Overmolding services combine two or more materials—typically a rigid substrate and a softer elastomeric layer—to create parts that are both functional and aesthetically appealing. At XCMachining, our overmolding services cater to industries such as automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. By integrating materials like thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), overmolding enhances ergonomics, grip, and sealing performance.
Choosing overmolding services at XCMachining means benefiting from advanced injection molding machinery, experienced process engineers, and stringent quality control. We begin each project with an in-depth consultation to understand your design requirements, target applications, and material preferences. Our engineers help you select compatible polymers that bond effectively during the overmolding cycle, ensuring optimal adhesion and durability.
Precision is paramount in overmolding services. We employ five-axis CNC machining to fabricate high-tolerance tooling and molds. This precision tooling guarantees tight clearances between the substrate and the overmolded material, eliminating flash, voids, or weak bonding areas. In addition, our in-house mold maintenance program ensures consistent cavity dimensions and surface finish across production runs.
Quality assurance is built into every step of our overmolding services. We perform in-process inspections—including dimensional checks and visual assessments—to verify that each overmolded component meets design specifications. For critical applications, we offer post-molding testing such as pull-off adhesion tests, hardness measurements, and accelerated aging studies.
Our overmolding services also support prototype to production quantities. We can run small pilot batches for design validation, then seamlessly transition to large-scale manufacturing without compromising lead times or part quality. Ultimately, partnering with XCMachining for overmolding services helps you achieve durable, ergonomic, and visually appealing parts that stand up to demanding environments.
