5 Overmold Considerations For Injection Mold Design
It is necessary to maintain a uniform wall thickness in the areas of the substrate that will be filled or covered by the second shot. The same design principles that apply to plastic parts apply to the voids in the substrate to be filled by the 2nd shot.

Typically there is no shrinkage applied to the 2nd shot mold since the substrate will not shrink after the over-molding process.
