KDET provides advanced overmolding and 2-shot (two-shot) injection molding services that combine multiple materials into a single integrated component. Our dual-injection molding capabilities enable the creation of complex parts with rigid substrates overmolded with soft-touch TPE, gasket seals directly molded onto housings, and multi-color aesthetic components — all produced in a single manufacturing cycle. Since 2007, we have delivered over 500 overmolding projects for automotive, medical, consumer electronics, and industrial clients worldwide.
KDET provides world-class overmolding 2-shot solutions engineered for the demanding requirements of global OEM manufacturers. With 18 years of industry experience and a fully integrated manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China, we deliver end-to-end solutions from engineering consultation and DFM analysis through mold manufacturing, production, quality assurance, and global logistics. Our structured project management approach ensures clear milestones, transparent communication, and documented quality at every stage.
Key Features- 2-Shot Rotary Platen Technology: Our dedicated 2-shot injection molding machines feature rotary platen systems that mold the substrate in the first station, rotate 180°, and inject the second material, achieving precise material bonding in a single cycle with no manual handling.
- Material Bonding Expertise: We achieve excellent adhesion between substrate and overmold materials through optimized processing parameters including melt temperature profiling, mold temperature control, and injection timing. Chemical bonding, mechanical interlocking, and surface treatment techniques are selected based on material combination requirements.
- Common Material Combinations: PP+TPE (soft-grip tools), PC+TPU (protective cases), ABS+TPE (ergonomic grips), PA66+LSR (sealing gaskets), PC+PMMA (transparent windows), and PBT+TPE (automotive seals) are among our most frequently processed combinations.
- Insert Overmolding: For applications requiring metal-to-plastic bonding, we offer insert overmolding where pre-fabricated metal inserts are placed into the mold cavity and encapsulated with thermoplastic material in a single injection cycle.
- Multi-Color & Multi-Texture: 2-shot molding enables distinct color zones, transparent/opaque combinations, and hard/soft transitions within a single component, eliminating secondary assembly and painting operations.
- Design for Overmolding (DFO): Our engineering team provides detailed DFO analysis including material compatibility assessment, bonding mechanism selection, parting line optimization, and gate location planning to ensure successful overmolding from the first trial.

Q: What material combinations work best for 2-shot overmolding?
A: The most reliable combinations use chemically compatible materials with similar melt temperatures. PP+TPE, PC+TPU, ABS+TPE, PA66+TPE, and PC+PMMA all demonstrate excellent adhesion. We maintain a material compatibility matrix based on 18 years of processing experience and can test new combinations upon request.
Q: What is the typical cost premium for 2-shot molding vs single-shot?
A: 2-shot tooling typically costs 30%-50% more than equivalent single-shot tooling due to the rotary mechanism and dual-cavity design. However, the total manufactured cost per part is often 15%-30% lower when factoring in eliminated assembly labor, reduced part count, and improved quality consistency.
Q: Can you overmold metal inserts with plastic?
A: Yes, insert overmolding is one of our core capabilities. We can encapsulate threaded brass inserts, steel bushings, electrical contacts, and custom metal stampings. The insert is manually or robotically placed into the mold before each cycle and the plastic is injected around it to form a secure mechanical bond.
Q: What is the minimum wall thickness achievable in the overmold layer?
A: We routinely achieve overmold layer thicknesses down to 0.5mm, depending on material flow characteristics and part geometry. For TPE overmolds, typical minimum thickness is 0.5-1.0mm. Our DFM analysis will validate minimum wall thickness feasibility based on your specific design.
