One of the challenges we face for building the part with 3K injection molding process is the risk of the second shot material melting the first shot in the second shot molding cycle. Therefore the processing and material selection is of key importance here.

Another major potential problem we might face would be the delamination of the individual components after the injection molding process; this is particularly so for the soft thermoplastic bonding to the hard.

The multi-shot injection molding engineering team at Kore Industries proposed and implemented geometric modifications to the part CAD that makes it feasible to build the part with a single 3K injection molding process.

A cost-effective solution has been found to this technically demanding and potentially labor intensive challenge faced by our customer.

Customer faces challenges with development and manufacture of a multi-component part that requires incorporation of 3 different thermoplastic polymers.

Since the assembly of the component is confined within a very tight package, the bonding area between the hard and soft thermoplastics is very limited and that runs the risks of the 2 material delaminating during cycle tests or even failure. The Kore team has to review the entire assembly with the internal electronics and add more contact

With the 3K multi-shot molding approach, we are able to achieve tremendous costs savings and production quality repeatability.

After reviewing the part geometry and its requirements, the most cost-effective and robust approach to build the part is to develop and produce the part, is a single injection molding cycle with a single triple-shot injection molding process.

The objective of selecting this approach is to simplify the build process and reduce the production costs as well as the enhancement to the functionality of the end part with this innovative triple-shot injection molding process.
