4. Overview: Insert Molding
What is insert molding?

Benefits
Cut waste
Reduce labor
Enhance productivity

5. What Is the Insert Molding
Process?
Insert Injection Molding Process
Insert injection molding permits the use of
inserts for metal or plastic components.
First, the metal component is inserted into
the mold. Then a resin is injected. Once the
mold has been prepared, it is inserted into
a mold cavity and allowed to harden.

Why even use it?
Insert molding reduces cycle time and
labor costs for manufacturers.
Possible Applications
Casings, enclosures,
panels, small components

6. How Are Parts Created with This
Process?
How Are Parts Formed?
The barrel heats the polymer substance.
Mold cavity is formed by heated, hardened
polymer substance.
Molds are machined with metal to form the
foundation for the part being formed from the
cavity.
Metal insert is injected into cavity to form
complete part.
