MULTI-MATERIAL MOLDS

In today’s plastics market, eye-catching market shelf products, molded with two or more colors or materials, are a growing trend. StackTeck has the technical expertise to build a mold that allows more than one color or material to be molded on the same plastic product, on the same mold, processed during the same cycle.

The advantage of applying this technology is not only esthetic, but may be driven by part functionality, to enhance part design features, or simply to add quality to the part or reduce downstream part assembly costs.

Multi-material is not specific to one technology and is driven by part design and can be performed by different mold design techniques such as: internal pull-back core/slides, rotating stripper plate, indexing transfer plate, turntable, robotic transfer from cavity to cavity or mold to mold.
