such as two-shot molds, unscrewing molds and insert molds.
Insert Molding: Combining Elements of a Part
When a specific design requires combining multiple materials into one
finished part, the cost-effective process known as insert molding may be the
solution you need.
With Insert molding, a plastic part is formed or molded directly over or around metal
or plastic components, resulting in a single piece assembly. A typical example is a plastic
handle molded over a metal screwdriver shaft. This value-added molding operation eliminates
the need for a costly additional assembly process.
The process was originally developed to place threaded inserts in molded parts, and to
form the plug around the prongs on the ends of electrical cords. It was
found that molding directly over the metal parts saves time and money by eliminating an assembly step.
Today, there are few design limitations or restrictions on material
combinations.
