Two-Shot Molding: Any Machine, Any Time with Shibaura Machine

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, August 6, 2021 - Two-shot molding is one of the most efficient processes for manufacturers creating products using plastics. By allowing operators to create multi-material or multi-colored parts without adding extra assembly steps it allows for increased versatility while being simpler and more cost effective in comparison to other processes.

Many manufacturers find themselves wanting to utilize two-shot molding, but without the space or capital to invest in another injection molding machine with this capability. Shibaura Machine offers customers the ability to transform a standard Shibaura Machine into a two-shot system with the E-Multi 2 Shot System. The E-Multi 2 Shot System offers a cost-effective way for Shibaura Machine customers to gain the benefits of two-shot molding while also keeping the ability to switch back to their standard machine to run their conventional molded products when needed.
