Polyurethane Overmolding for Automotive Wiring Harnesses

Polyurethane Overmolding for Automotive Wiring Harnesses

Riamolde develops tooling and production solutions for polyurethane overmolding applications, including full-harness overmolding. Our scope can connect part and mold development with PUR processing, workstation engineering, control and production validation.

An integrated approach to harness overmolding

In a wiring-harness overmolding project, the mold, polyurethane process and workstation influence one another. Riamolde can engineer these elements as an integrated production concept rather than treating the mold as an isolated component.

Prototype molds before serial production

Prototype tooling can support part and process validation before investment in the final serial-production mold. Riamolde also manufactures automated serial molds mounted on console structures with their own control.

From tooling to the production cell

When the project requires more than a mold, Riamolde can also develop PUR foaming stations and turnkey polyurethane production cells, including installation and support through production-capacity validation.

Control and traceability

Depending on project requirements, process monitoring and traceability can be integrated through Riamolde’s Full Process Control System.

Frequently asked questions

Does Riamolde manufacture molds for full-harness overmolding?

Yes. Riamolde states that its mold capability includes full-harness overmolding applications, as well as simpler prototype and serial-production tooling.

Can Riamolde supply more than the mold?

Yes. The company also designs PUR foaming workstations and complete production solutions, and can support installation, commissioning and production validation.

Where are Riamolde molds and stations manufactured?

Riamolde engineers and manufactures its tooling and station components in Portugal and supplies customers worldwide.

What to send us for an initial technical review

Useful inputs include the part or harness geometry, 2D/3D data where available, target PUR material or specification, annual and peak production requirements, expected automation level, quality or traceability requirements, and the intended production location.
