Topwell Two Shot Mold Key Structural Features

  • Dual Injection System
    Equipped with two independent injection barrels and nozzles, designed to handle two different materials/colors in one molding cycle.
  • Rotating or Indexable Mold Core
    The core plate rotates or indexes 180° after the first shot, bringing the pre-molded part to the second cavity for overmolding, ensuring precise alignment.
  • Precision-Machined Cavities
    Dual cavities (one for each shot) are built with high-precision CNC machining, to guarantee consistent color/material boundaries and minimal flash.
  • Advanced Sealing & Venting Design
    Specialized sealing structures prevent material cross-contamination between the two shots, while optimized vents ensure complete mold filling for complex parts.
  • Customized Fixtures & Inserts
    For complex parts, we integrate custom positioning fixtures to hold pre-molded parts securely during the second shot, preventing shifting or warping.
  • Rigid Mold Base & High-Durability Components
    Built with high-quality mold steel and reinforced structural design, suitable for long-term mass production with stable cycle times.

Two Shot Molding Materials

LayerMaterial TypesNotes & Use Cases
First-Shot (Rigid Base)ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PA (Nylon), PBT, PP, PPSForms the structural core; must be chemically compatible with the second-shot resin to ensure strong bonding.
Second-Shot (Dual Color / Dual Material)ABS, PC, TPE, TPU, Silicone, Secondary Engineering PlasticsCreates contrasting colors, soft-touch grips, or sealing layers; optimized for adhesion to the base material.

✅ABS + ABS same material dual color

✅ABS + TPU hard & soft non-slip combination

✅PP + PP food grade dual color parts

✅PC + ABS high toughness appearance parts

✅PC + TPE comfortable grip accessories

✅POM + general plastic precision functional parts

Surface Treatment Options (Post-Molding)

  • Mold Texturing & Etching
    Built-in matte, gloss, anti-slip or custom textures directly on the mold, forming seamless patterns on both layers without secondary processing.
  • Selective Spray & Coating
    UV coating, scratch-resistant paint or soft-touch coating, applied only to designated areas with masking to protect the second-shot material.
  • Silk-Screen / Pad Printing
    Add fine logos, text or functional markings on rigid surfaces, ideal for brand identity and product labeling.
  • Laser Marking
    Permanent engraving on hard plastic layers for part numbers, safety warnings or contrast effects, with no impact on the soft-touch component.
  • Deburring & Polishing
    Remove flash and smooth edges to ensure a clean, high-quality finish on the seam between the two materials.
