Dissimilar material molding is a method of molding different materials as an integral part using a single mold.
Advantages
It is possible to provide functionality (touch, seal, abrasion resistance, etc.) that cannot be achieved with a single material.
Cost reduction by eliminating assembly man-hours.
Environmentally friendly because no adhesive is used.
Seams can be eliminated.
Points to note
Requires a dedicated molding machine with two injection units.
Applicable only to flat products due to mold structure limitations
