At Senses, we specialize in high precision overmolding solutions that combine advanced technology with superior craftsmanship. Overmolding is a powerful technique that allows multiple materials to be molded together in one seamless process — resulting in stronger, more durable, and aesthetically refined products.
As a trusted partner in the injection molding industry, Senses brings years of experience, cutting-edge equipment, and a customer-first mindset to every project we take on. We understand that each client has unique needs, which is why we offer fully customizable overmolding services — from prototyping to large-scale production.
What is Overmolding?
Overmolding is a specialized injection molding process where one material is molded over another to create a single, integrated part. This technique is commonly used to add soft-touch surfaces, improve ergonomics, enhance product durability, or combine different colors and materials into one finished product.
Think of a toothbrush with a soft grip handle, a screwdriver with a comfortable rubberized coating, or a medical device with a sealed, waterproof interface — these are all examples of overmolding in action.
The process typically involves two steps:
- A base part (often made of a rigid plastic) is first injection molded.
- Then, a second material (usually a softer thermoplastic elastomer or TPE) is molded over the base to provide added functionality or aesthetics.
This method not only improves the look and feel of a product but also reduces the need for secondary assembly processes, saving time and costs.
Why Choose High Precision Overmolding?
When it comes to manufacturing high-quality, multi-material parts, not all overmolding processes are the same. Choosing high precision overmolding can make a big difference in the performance, appearance, and longevity of your product.
Here’s why it matters:
1. Better Performance and Durability
High precision overmolding ensures that materials bond perfectly, creating a strong, long-lasting part. Whether it’s a medical device that needs to withstand sterilization or a tool handle that must endure daily use, precision helps ensure reliability.
2. Professional Look and Feel
With tight control over material placement and bonding, high precision overmolding delivers clean lines, smooth transitions, and a polished finish. This is especially important for consumer products where design and user experience play a key role.
3. Fewer Assembly Steps
Because multiple materials are combined in one process, there’s no need for extra steps like gluing or fastening separate components together. This reduces production time, lowers costs, and minimizes the risk of defects.
4. Consistency You Can Trust
Precision means every part is made exactly the same — with the same fit, function, and quality. This is crucial for industries like automotive and healthcare, where even small variations can affect safety and performance.
Industries We Serve
At Senses, our high precision overmolding solutions are trusted by companies across a wide range of industries. Each industry has its own unique demands — from safety and durability to comfort and design — and we tailor our services to meet those needs with quality and reliability.
Medical & Healthcare
In the medical field, every detail matters. Our overmolding technology is used to create components that are not only durable but also biocompatible, sterilizable, and safe for patient contact. From surgical tools with soft-touch grips to sealed connectors and wearable devices, we help manufacturers deliver products that meet strict healthcare standards.
Automotive
From dashboard buttons to gearshift handles and door handles, today’s vehicles rely on overmolded parts for both function and style. At Senses, we produce automotive components that offer enhanced grip, noise reduction, and long-term performance — even under extreme temperatures and conditions.
Consumer Electronics
Smartphones, remote controls, headphones, and handheld devices often feature overmolded parts that improve comfort, protection, and appearance. Our precision helps brands create sleek, ergonomic designs while protecting sensitive electronics from impact and wear.
Industrial Equipment
Tools and machinery used in factories or construction sites need to be tough and comfortable to use. Overmolding allows us to add non-slip surfaces, shock absorption, and better ergonomics to handles, knobs, and control panels — helping workers stay safe and productive.
Other Applications
Beyond these core industries, our overmolding capabilities support many other fields — including aerospace, home appliances, sports equipment, and more. Whatever your product, Senses can help you achieve superior performance and design through advanced overmolding technology.
No matter which industry you’re in, Senses is here to bring your product ideas to life with reliable, high-quality overmolding solutions. Whether you’re looking for small-batch prototyping or large-scale production, our team is ready to support you every step of the way.
