Overmolding Electronics with 3D Printed Molds

There’s lots of talk these days about printing tooling for short run injection molding, or printing rigid molds for silicone casting.

One unique application is low volume, flexible 3D printed molds for rigid overmolding of electronics.

In this blog post we’ll cover how we used SLA 3D printing to make flexible molds that allowed us to overmold electronics for a polar bear tracker. This was a project done in collaboration with Mistywest and you can read about the project specifics here.
