2K Injection Molding
Two components, one part:
With our 2K injection molding process, we combine different plastics in a single manufacturing step – for complex parts with maximum functionality.
Multi-component Injection Molding from a Single Source
2K injection molding enables the production of parts from two different plastics in one operation.
The result: Material- and form-fit connections that are mechanically resilient, visually appealing, and economically superior.
At Schröder + Heidler, we have modern multi-component injection molding machines and the expertise to implement even complex hard-soft or hard-hard combinations with process reliability. From prototype to large series production, we support your project with experience and precision.
- Reduced assembly costs through integrated manufacturing
- Increased component quality through material-fit connections
- Shorter cycle times compared to individual production with assembly
- Hard-soft combinations for seals, grips, and comfort components
- Flexible material combinations for individual requirements
Technology for the Highest Demands
Our 2K injection molding is used wherever parts made of multiple materials are required without additional assembly steps. The direct connection in the mold creates high-precision parts with excellent haptics, sealing properties, and durability. Whether rotary table process, transfer technology, or core-back process: We select the optimal method for your component and ensure reproducible quality in every series.
-
Automated manufacturing processes and continuous quality monitoring guarantee consistently high results – part by part, series by series.
-
From thermoplastics to elastomers and high-performance engineering plastics – we combine the right materials for your application.
-
By integrating multiple work steps into one cycle, you significantly reduce manufacturing costs and shorten your time-to-market.
