Insert Molding

This process starts with an insert such as a screw machine, metal stamping or other metal or polymer component, which is then placed in to the mold. The next step is injecting plastic is into the mold. The finished part can be the plastic insert, the plastic shell that surrounds it or a part that is bonded during this process.
This process can mold pins, fasteners and terminals inside a part which eliminates post-molding processes, which also reduces costs. Specialized machines are designed for insert molding – although standard injection molding machines are sometimes used, these can be problematic during the insert loading phase and can reduce the quality of the finished product.
