Metal With Silicone OverMolding Manufacturing

Project Background and Customer Needs

Not long ago, an innovative consumer electronics company approached us. They were developing a new handheld device that required the shell to have both the hardness of plastic and the soft touch and anti-slip function of silicone. Their goal was to create a product that was both beautiful and practical, providing users with an excellent grip experience.

• Technological innovation and excellence:After the project started, our team immediately started mold development and material testing. Due to the complex structure of the product, we faced the technical challenge of how to ensure that the silicone was evenly coated without affecting the dimensional accuracy of the plastic parts. After many tests and adjustments, we finally optimized the mold design and adopted the most advanced liquid silicone injection process, which made the silicone and plastic parts perfectly integrated under high temperature and high pressure, which not only improved the appearance and texture of the product, but also enhanced its durability and comfort.

• From Zero to Mass Production: Delivering Products that Exceed Expectations：Throughout the project, we maintained close communication with our customers and provided timely feedback on every production progress and process improvement. After multiple rounds of sample testing and adjustments, we finally succeeded in turning the customer's ideas into reality. The customized silicone-coated plastic products not only met expectations in appearance, but also exceeded customer expectations in terms of functionality.
  When we delivered the first batch of mass-produced products to our customers, they praised the quality and feel of the products. This product was ultimately highly recognized by the market, helping customers stand out in the fierce market competition.

Comprehensive Solutions

• Mold development: Faced with complex product structures, we developed an optimized mold design to ensure that the silicone can be evenly coated on the surface of the plastic parts without affecting the dimensional accuracy of the plastic parts.

• Material selection and testing: We selected the most suitable liquid silicone material and conducted multiple tests to ensure that it can be perfectly integrated with the plastic, while meeting the customer's expected feel and appearance requirements.

• Liquid silicone injection molding: Using advanced liquid silicone injection molding technology, the silicone is closely combined with plastic parts under high temperature and high pressure environment to ensure the consistency of the coating effect and the durability of the product.

• Strict quality control:During the production process, we strictly control every link, from the selection of raw materials to the inspection of finished products, each step meets high standards of quality requirements to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.
