Overmolding integrates Polystrand tapes and multi-
ply laminates into traditional thermoplastic molding
processes, such as injection and compression
molding, to create locally-reinforced, molded
components.

Traditionally, molding with short and long
glass-filled polypropylene to gain flexural
performance over unfilled polypropylene
also results in a loss of impact resistance.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Universal_Polyamide_Overmold_Thermoplastic_Elastomer.pdf
For these reasons, it is often required to over mold TPE immediately after molding the nylon
substrate.
NYLON MOLDING PROCESS
Bonding is also affected by mold design and nylon molding conditions.

Some common manufacturing options are pultrusion, resin injection, resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding.
Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost.
It is a continuous molding process where fibers are saturated with a liquid polymer, then carefully pulled through a heated die to form the parts.
