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.
