Addition Injection Molding Options
Besides basic injection molding services, we also offer two variants of the process - overmolding and insert molding. Both of these can be useful in specific situations.
Overmolding
Overmolding uses injection molding to create a part from multiple materials. This process adds an injection-molded layer of material over an existing injection-molded workpiece. The overmolding process produces chemically bonded parts made using various materials.
The overmolding method is often cheaper and more effective than other manufacturing approaches that require creating and assembling component material parts separately. The process can also build layered parts from scratch or add a resistant outer layer to existing plastic parts and tools, providing a rugged exterior. Toothbrushes consisting of a solid plastic body and rubberized grip are an example of an overmolded product.
Insert Molding
It is similar to overmolding, but the substrate is not necessarily plastic and does not have to be produced via injection molding. For example, it can be used to add a plastic coating to a pre-fabricated metal part.
Common parts made with insert molding include sharp handheld tools, such as scalpels that consist of a metal blade partially housed within a plastic handle. This manufacturing process is also frequently used to create inserts incorporating bushings, clips, and fasteners.
From Prototyping to Mass Production
OYA offers one-stop manufacturing solutions. Whatever your need rapid tooling for prototype molding or production tooling for mass production parts.
Prototyping & Low-Volume Production
The prototype molds are normally made as single mold cavity in aluminum or P20 steel. With hand-loaded inserts to avoid using cylinders and lifters. Standard stock mold base is another fact to lower the mold cost. It is the best way to get a few prototypes in real materials for testing, or to create a few hundreds and thousands of bridge production parts in a very short lead times.
Mass Production
When you are ready for million+ of mass production moldings, it is important to keep the injection molding cost as low as possible. That’s why production injection mold tools are made as multi cavities to reduce the cycle time, and fully hardened tool steel to ensure the tool life. In the meantime, robots are widely used to cover the labor cost.
Mold Tooling and Molding Materials
Wide range type of industrial-grade materials can be used for mold tools and moldings, giving you lots of material selection options to complete prototypes and production runs. Tooling materials such as aluminum and steel, and molding material in common plastics such as ABS, PC, PP, PA or temperature resistance plastics like PEI, PPS, etc.

Injection Molding FAQ's
The first step in our injection molding service is to design the injection mold tool. How long this takes will depend on the complexity of your project. The usual timeline can be as short as a week and as long as a couple of months.
The plastic pellets are melted and then inserted in liquid form into the mold tool, where it cools and takes the required shape. The process allows for high precision and tight tolerances because it can be replicated exactly each time.
Injection molding can use almost any type of plastic that can also be combined together. This unmatched versatility makes injection molding so popular and suitable for some of the most demanding industries in the world. You can check out the selection of available materials and finishes our injection molding service handles on this page.
Injection molding is one of the most affordable ways to manufacture large quantities of parts, especially for bigger production runs. Even though design for manufacturing and creating the mold can take time, the process then becomes very affordable and efficient.
