Custom Insert Injection Molding
Consistent production outcomes
Personalized solutions bring your project to life
Custom insert injection molded solutions offer flexibility, alternative assembly options, and a variety of cost-saving activities. Our injection molding machines and quality equipment allow us to adapt quickly to industry advancements. Polymer technologies and molding processes have led to new products and processes.
With custom insert injection molding, part design plays a critical role as the plastic and insert are mechanically bonded together. Since there is no chemical bond between the insert and plastic, the design must be properly evaluated for manufacturing feasibility.
With the help of Agapé Plastics, we can ensure your part design is optimized and will meet performance expectations in the application.
What is insert injection molding?
Insert injection molding is the process of molding or forming plastic parts around non-plastic parts (referred to as inserts). The inserted component is usually a thread or rod to add strength to the final piece. Most of the time, we combine metal and plastics into a single unit.
What are the advantages of insert injection molding?
We’re looking for improved wear resistance, tensile strength, and weight reduction when we use engineering plastics and we use metallic materials for strength and conductivity. Additional benefits include:
Improves component reliability
Improved strength & structure
Reduces assembly and labor costs
Reduces the size & weight of the part
Enhanced design flexibility
