Insert Molding

Why Choose Insert Molding?

Insert molding is a manufacturing process where metal components are placed into a mold before molten metal is injected around them to form a finished part. Our proprietary injected metal assembly (IMA) process is a specific type of insert molding that begins with a custom tool featuring cavities for multiple components. These components are placed into the tool, and molten zinc is injected. The zinc alloy fills the cavities, hardening to create a permanent bond between the components.

Benefits of Insert Molding and Injected Metal Assembly:

Strengthened structure:
Reduced Assembly
Complex geometries
Design flexibility
Enhanced aesthetics
Common Applications of Insert Molding:
Electronic connectors
Medical devices
Telecommunications satellites
Automotive parts
Consumer products

Overmolding

Key Features Of Overmolding

The overmolding process creates a finished product by molding a softer or more flexible material over a rigid metal to form an end product.

Benefits:
Reduced assembly
Enhanced functionality
Ergonomic
Enhanced aesthetics
Cost savings
Common Applications
Tool handles:
Electronic device grips
Medical devices
Automotive interior components

In die casting, insert molding allows for one metal component to be placed in a mold, having additional molten metal injected around the metal insert to create a finished part. This eliminates the need for secondary operations like welding, tapping, and machining.

This proprietary manufacturing process joins multiple components by injecting molten zinc into a mold holding the parts, creating a single, permanently bonded unit.

Overmolding involves molding one material (often a softer or more flexible material) over another material (usually a rigid substrate) to create a finished product. This is typically used for cosmetic, texture or durability purposes.
