Insert molding is widely utilized in the automotive sector, among many others, as it creates a secure and tight connection for additional assembly components. This process is particularly useful when integrating a metal component into a plastic part to complete an assembly.

The robust and durable inserts can be assembled, disassembled, and reconnected multiple times without compromising their strength, allowing for sleek and functional designs in various parts of modern vehicles.

With injection molding, it’s common to incorporate these inserts into designs based on customer specifications. When the design is properly adapted for this feature, the production process can proceed as smoothly as any other.

Choosing the right material and configuring the mold correctly is crucial. Typically, the insert is added as the part exits the mold, ensuring the integrity of the component and guaranteeing that both the plastic and the insert are strong, durable, and functional.

A client might wonder, “Why not just drill and glue the inserts after production?”

While methods like ultrasonic or heat-staking can attach inserts to pre-formed holes, for optimal bonding and strength for regular use, integrating the insert during the molding process - where the resin fully encapsulates it - is the superior choice.
