Traditional multi-part assemblies are increasingly struggling to meet today’s demands for higher performance, lower cost, and greater manufacturing efficiency. 2K overmolding offers a different approach, combining materials into a single integrated component to simplify production, improve quality, and realize new functionality.

In this session, we will explore how 2K overmolding is creating value across a wide range of industries and applications through practical, real-world examples. We will also examine one of the most critical success factors in overmolding: adhesion between materials.

By briefly exploring the heat transfer phenomena, adhesion mechanisms, and polymer physics behind successful bonding, this presentation will provide practical guidelines for achieving reliable adhesion and more robust multi-material designs.
