Insert Molding replaces metal and plastic assemblies, and components made solely of plastic or metal. This unique manufacturing process combines metal and plastic, ceramics, or multiple combinations of materials, components and plastic into a single unit. The process uses engineering plastics for improved wear resistance, tensile strength and weight reduction and uses metallic materials for strength and conductivity. The result is a single heterogeneous composite that always provides superior functional performance to any other manufacturing alternative for products requiring high current applications.
Processing of two shot is usually performed by using co-injection or the pre-mold/over-mold concept discussed earlier. Co-injection is available in both horizontal and vertical presses.
- How It Works:
-
- Enhanced Strength and Durability
- Insert injection molding combines the strength of metal inserts with the flexibility and versatility of plastic, creating parts that are both robust and lightweight. This makes the parts ideal for high-performance applications in industries like automotive and aerospace.
