Delivery device apparatuses, systems, and methods

A method of overmolding a component to a sharp bearing body from which at least one microneedle projects comprising:

• depositing each of the at least one microneedle in a respective pocket defined in a first shut-off of a mold, each of the at least one microneedle being self-centered by the geometry of the respective pockets as the microneedles are deposited;
• enclosing the sharp bearing body within first and second blocks of a mold;
• clamping the sharp bearing body, with a resting clamping force, between the first shut-off and a second shut-off of the mold with a sharp bearing face of the sharp bearing body disposed normal to the force of gravity;
• exerting pressure against the mold with clamping platens in a direction normal to the sharp bearing face;
• forming the component with an axial dimension which extends in a direction other than normal to the sharp bearing face while overmolding material to a sidewall around the periphery of the sharp bearing body and a portion of the face of the sharp bearing body opposite the sharp bearing face;
• venting gas through vents abreast an interface between the sidewall and overmolded material;
• and
• retaining the second block of the mold against a base during orchestration of a portion of an ejection sequence in which the first block and component are ejected from the mold.
