Plastic Insert Molding

This technology is widely used in automotive manufacturing, consumer electronics, medical devices and many other fields.

1. A well-known home appliance enterprises in the production of air conditioning shell, the use of plastic insert molding process, the production process from the original 5 procedures reduced to 2, the production cycle shortened by 40%, manpower costs reduced by 35%, defective rate from 8% to 2%, and greatly enhance the economic efficiency of the enterprise.
2. The combination of metal inserts and high-performance plastics not only enhances high-temperature and chemical resistance, but also reduces weight by up to 20%, effectively improving overall performance.
3. It brings unlimited possibilities for product design. Designers can flexibly choose the material, shape and embedded position of inserts according to the functional requirements of the product, so as to realize diversified designs and meet the customized needs of different customers.

This process is the same as the injection molding process and uses the same injection molding machine to inject the molten material into the plastic injection mold, then the plastic cures through a cooling system, the press opens and the injection molded part is discharged.

Insert molding uses the same materials as the injection molding process, except that the metal is added to the mold before the injection mold is closed.

By using the same thermoplastic. The same mold steel, the same mold construction, and the same injection molding machine may sometimes require the use of a vertical injection molding machine for certain special cases.

Some injection molders use vertical injection molding machines that use gravity to aid in the insertion process by holding the insert in place during mold closure. Insertion in place during mold closure.

Q1: What is the difference between plastic insert molding and traditional assembly process?

A1: The traditional process requires injection molding of plastic parts and then fixing the inserts with glue/screws, which is prone to gaps and risks of falling off. Our process directly embeds metal/rubber inserts during injection molding to achieve zero-gap integrated molding, which improves strength by 40% (e.g., BMW door handle case), and reduces the number of processes by 3, which reduces cost by 25%.

Q2: How is the cost advantage reflected in mass production?

A2: With an annual output of 100,000 pieces of auto parts, for example, the one-shot molding process can reduce labor costs by 60%, and the mold life reaches more than 500,000 times (300,000 times for the traditional process), with a reduction of 18% in the overall cost.

Q3: How long is the sample production cycle?

A3: Regular 7-14 days,urgent projects can be confirmed the fastest delivery time. Provide free DFM analysis to optimize design feasibility.
