High Quality Process for Pilot Runs, Low-Volume Production, and Bridge Tooling
Need overmolded parts that are truly custom? You have come to the right place. Anpllo delivers high-quality, on-demand injection molding for prototypes and production parts.
Anpllo takes a “have it your way” approach to all types of injection molding, no matter your level of experience. We specialize in complex projects, including those requiring side action or hand loaded inserts. Our goal is to provide a long-term overmolding solution, moving beyond rapid prototyping, with dedicated overmolding project managers and engineering experts to communicate through all project stages from design to production. We offer molding solutions for every industry, including medical injection molding, and both US and China injection molding services.
Overmolding refers to an injection molding process that can fabricate products that are perfectly combined with two or more materials and colors. Typically, we call the first material applied during the process as the substrate, which can be plastic and metal materials. And the subsequent materials (normally plastic or rubber materials) are used to fully or partially cover the substrate.
Anpllo uses a variety of materials for overmolding such as ABS, HDPE, Nylon, TPE, silicone, and so on, which means that we can offer our clients more choices and meet their requirements better. Our engineers are the experts in the molding area, and they would offer professional suggestions for your projects in each step, from design to manufacturing, making sure that it can be carried out successfully.
Anpllo takes on the challenging overmolding applications. 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. In addition, it can eliminate complicated assembly and post-molding processes.
With our expertise, we are able provide design feedback for your challenging overmold applications. Our engineers will work with your team to offer solutions that optimize your design concept.
Overmolded products provide:
Anpllo works with leading manufacturers from different industries to support growing demands and streamline their supply chain. The digitalization of our custom injection molding services helps more and more manufacturers bring their idea to products.
Anpllo’s custom overmolding services ensure the creation of plastic parts that look and perform better. Our production line consists of an overmolding injection molding process that allows us to combine several different materials into one, ensuring you get superior-quality products.

Chemical bonding between overmolded materials is possible, but material compatibility should be considered in order to achieve desired bond strength. Incorporation of an adequate mechanical bond is strongly recommended if bonding is critical to your application. An undercut is a good example of a mechanical bond.
