Multi-Color Injection
Instructions:
Inject different colored materials into the mold either sequentially or simultaneously to achieve visually striking multi-color soft-gel products. Techniques include color blocking, gradients, or partitioned injection. This method is ideal for aesthetic creations, functional differentiation, or personalized product design.
Common Approaches:
- Manually change material colors for segmented injection
- Design molds with multiple channels for partitioned injection
- Pre-mix different colors to create gradient or marble-like effects
Application Examples:
- Two-tone squishy toys (gradient or contrasting colors)
- Color-separated game controller grips (different colors for left and right functional zones)
- Educational models (different structural areas distinguished by color)
Material Tips:
- Use raw material of the same hardness with different pigments for easy matching
- Add fluorescent powder, pearlescent powder, etc. for special visual effects
- Design molds with logical partitions to prevent unclear color separation or uneven injection
