Two-Shot Molding(also three and four-shot) is a cost-effective method to produce plastic parts with two or more colors molded at the same time, such as radio control buttons or dashboard faceplates.

Two-Shot molding is a relatively new, rapidly growing technology. It is replacing older, two step systems, eliminating a secondary process to add logos, graphics or text. New computer technology and advanced materials have promoted the growth of the two-shot process.

The two-shot process first injects one color material into the mold, then injects the second color around or over the first. There are also multi-shot processes for parts with more than two colors (tail-lights can have up to four colors, for example).

The two shot process allows you to:

Increase product features

Enhances design aesthetics

Reduce assembly steps and costs

Improve quality

Reduce cost per part
