What is
Insert Molding?

Insert Molding

Insert molding generally consists of a preformed part—oftenmetal—that is loaded into a mold, where it is then overmolded with plastic to create a part with improved functional or mechanical properties. We currently accept inserts from PEM, Dodge, Tri-Star, Spirol, and Tappex.

One way insert molding is used is with threaded inserts, which reinforce the mechanical properties of plastic parts’ability to be fastened together, especially over repeated assembly. Bushings and sleeves are another great way to increase part durability for mating components that need more abrasion resistance due to moving parts.

Custom Insert Molding With HLH

Injection molding uses a huge range of plastics, making it ideal for many applications across nearly every industry. we can source thousands of materials on request.

ELIMINATE ASSEMBLY

You can make insert molded parts all at once instead of having to do assembly after the fact.

REDUCE COSTS

Insert molding costs more than standard injection molding, but the costs are usually offset by the fact that you no longer need to do post-assembly.

LOWER THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE PART

A plastic part with a metal insert is generally lighter than an all-metal part.

IMPROVE RELIABILITY

Metal mold inserts will guarantee the function of threads and mitigate wear and tear over the part's life.

IMPROVE PART STRENGTH

Because it’s a “one-shot” process, it can produce stronger parts than overmolding and other processes.

Injection molding surface finishes

SPI surface finishes:We offer any type of SPI surface finish, such as A-1, D-2 or D-3.

VDI surface finishes:VDI 3400 Surface Finish (commonly known as VDI surface finish) refers to the mold texture standard set by Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), the Society of German Engineers. This is mainly processed by EDM machining, producing fine to coarse matte finishes.
