What is Insert Moulding?

Insert molding is an injection molding manufacturing methods in which pre-manufactured inserts, such as metal or other components, are placed into a mold tool first, then inject molten thermoplastic resin around the inserts to form a single, integrated part. It can reduce assembly time and cost, as well as improve the strength and functionality of the final product.

Insert Injection Molding Process

Preparing the inserts: The metal inserts are cleaned and prepared for integration with the plastic material. Depending on the application, surface treatments or coatings may be applied to improve adhesion.
Mold setup: Ensure that the mold is clean and free of any debris or contaminants.Install the insert mold into the injection molding machine and verify that it is properly aligned and secured. Configure the machine settings, such as temperature, pressure, and injection speed, according to the requirements of the specific plastic material and insert being used.
Positioning the inserts: Manually or automatically place the prepared inserts into the designated areas within the mold cavity. Ensure that the inserts are accurately positioned and secured to prevent movement during the molding process.
Injecting the plastic: Inject the molten plastic resin into the mold cavity, ensuring that it flows around and completely encapsulates the inserts.
Cooling and solidification: The plastic cools and solidifies around the insert, creating a strong bond between the materials.
Ejection: Once the plastic material has fully solidified, carefully open the mold to release the part. Utilize an ejection system, such as ejector pins or a stripper plate, to ensure smooth part removal without damaging the plastic or dislodging the inserts.
Inspect the finished parts for quality and consistency: Examine each part to ensure proper insert placement, bonding, and overall part quality. Perform any necessary quality control tests or measurements to verify that the parts meet the required specifications.
Post-Processing (if necessary): Trim any excess plastic material such as sprue remnants from the parts. Conduct any necessary secondary operations, such as painting, surface finishing, or assembly, depending on the specific application requirements.

Insert Moulding Advantages

Improved precision
Increased design flexibility
Reduced assembly and labor cost
Enhanced functionality
Improved strength and durability

Insert Moulding Disadvantages

Complex process
Limited material options
Challenges with insert placement
Increased risk of defects
Higher tooling cost

Insert Molding Application

Insert molding process is a manufacturing process that combines multiple materials into one injection molded part. It results in a stronger, more durable, and functional product with reduced assembly time and cost, improved precision, and increased design flexibility. It can be found in wide range of industries including Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Medical Devices, Consumer Goods, Aerospace, and Industrial Equipment.

Insert molding design guide

Main considerations in designing insert molding product

Evaluating Material Bonding and Adhesion such as abrasion resistance and pull out resistance.
Plastic components and metal inserts are designed for mechanical bonding

Key considerations in Insert Mold Design guidelines

Material selection for both the insert and plastic
Shrinkage factor for the plastic materials
Geometry for both the plastic and insert such as wall thickness
Putting the inserts into the mold by robot or manual
Insert placement and retention in the mold
Feeding, Cooling, Ejection, and venting system in the mold

Insert Injection Molding Cost

Insert plastic component cost=molding materials cost + insert costs + injection molding cost
There are some ways to lower the cost:

Reduce the material cost
Optimize the mold design to shorten the molding cycle times
Increase the cavity number in the mold.
