Material Options for Overmolding
At Livepoint, we support a wide range of engineering and commodity plastics to meet diverse application requirements across industries.
ABS provides excellent impact resistance and dimensional stability, ideal for overmolding with soft TPU or TPE for ergonomic and durable components.
Nylon offers high strength and chemical resistance, perfect for overmolding with rubber or soft plastics in functional, load-bearing parts.
Polycarbonate delivers superior toughness and clarity, suitable for overmolding with flexible materials for protective covers and transparent assemblies.
PMMA combines rigidity and optical clarity, ideal for overmolding applications requiring aesthetic finishes with soft-touch overlays.
Acetal (POM) ensures low friction and wear resistance, making it suitable for overmolding in precision mechanical parts and sliding assemblies.
Polyethylene is lightweight and chemically resistant, allowing overmolding with elastomers for flexible, low-cost, and durable products.
Polypropylene provides excellent fatigue resistance and chemical stability, ideal for overmolding with soft plastics or rubbers in consumer and industrial parts.
Our Application of Overmolding
Automotive Overmolding

Overmolding FAQs
Overmolding is a manufacturing process where one material, usually a soft or flexible polymer, is molded over a rigid substrate, creating a single part with multiple material properties.
Overmolding enhances part functionality and ergonomics, providing soft-touch surfaces, improved sealing, and durable multi-material components for automotive, medical, and electronics applications.
Overmolding combines two or more polymers, while insert molding embeds metal or other pre-formed components into plastic, providing mechanical strength or electrical conductivity.
Common overmolding materials include ABS, PC, PA (Nylon), PMMA, POM, PE, PP, TPU, and TPE, chosen based on application requirements, durability, and compatibility between substrate and overlay.
