For critical device manufacturing, Forum delivers robust, performance-driven insert-molding and over-molding solutions. By combining multiple polymer materials or integrating polymers with metal components, these processes create a strong mechanical and/or thermal bond tailored to the application.

Insert-molding and over-molding can also streamline manufacturing by eliminating the need for separate chemical or solvent bonding processes, reducing assembly steps while enhancing product consistency and reliability.

Insert Molding Services Overview

Forum is able to overmold substrates with multiple materials in different locations on your insert. In some cases, plastic on plastic or plastic on metal.

Benefits of Overmolding Solutions

From overmolded medical devices to industrial applications, plastic overmolded components provide superior performance. By overmolding plastic onto or into metal, or plastic onto plastic we are able to create a more-consistent and higher-quality product with superior performance.

Overmolded products provide:

  • Consistent and accurate alignment
  • Improved structural integrity
  • Reduced labor costs
  • Eliminate complicated assembly and post-molding processes
  • Increased design flexibility
  • Higher quality and superior performance
