What Is Insert Molding?

Insert molding is a production technique in which ready-formed metal or plastic inserts are embedded into a mold and then molten resin is forcefully injected into the mold around the inserts. The molding method produces a single, integrated unit that is highly mechanically stable, aligns uniformly, and performs consistently over time. Insert molding is also highly beneficial in eliminating secondary assembly, improving electrical flow, load durability, and overall reliability of the product.
