Insert Molding/Over–Molding
Meridian Products has manufactured precision molded parts requiring over-molded components for over 30 years. Examples of these types of products are over-molded bearings, medical brace components and mechanical threaded inserts. With our vast experience in over-molding, we can assist you in determining the best method and materials to use to achieve the design you are looking for.
Two Shot Molding
Meridian Products has experience in utilizing a two-shot over-molding process. This process incorporates two different materials into the one part. This allows the customer versatility in their design. This process is used in applications for adding a soft touch feel to knobs, product differentiation utilizing different color schemes, as well as mechanical applications requiring different performance characteristics for the part.
