Insert molding is an injection molding process that works especially well for parts that have threaded holes. It can also help you create better wheels, pulleys, fan blades, and other similar parts. Done correctly, insert molding can help eliminate assembly, reduce costs, lower part size and weight, improve reliability, and improve part strength.
Eliminate Assembly
Make insert molded parts all at once instead of having to do assembly after the fact.
Reduce Costs
Insert molding costs more than standard injection molding, but costs are usually offset by eliminating post-assembly.
Lower Size and Weight
A plastic part with a metal insert is generally lighter than an all-metal part.
Improve Reliability
Metal mold inserts guarantee the function of threads and mitigate wear and tear over the part's life.
Improve Part Strength
Because it's a "one-shot" process, it can produce stronger parts than overmolding and other processes.
Applications for Insert Molding
End-Use Functional Parts
Insertion molding creates fully dense, smooth parts with superior mechanical performance.
Scaled Production
Insert injection molding is best known for its unmatched production capabilities from thousands to millions of identical parts.
Certified Components
We offer ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485, UL, ITAR, and ISO 7 & 8 Medical Clean Room molding.
Insert Molding Process Advantages
Durability
Metal inserts will guarantee the function of threads and mitigate wear and tear over the part's life.
Strength
Because it's a "one-shot" process, insert molding can produce stronger parts than overmolding and other processes.
Creating Production Parts
Insert molding is great for creating prototypes and production parts.
