Insert moulding: respraying other material types with plastic
For insert moulding, we injection mould part of another material type in plastic. A very common application is the coating or recoating of metal parts with plastic. We put the foreign object in an injection mould and encapsulate it.
Metal, ceramics or other materials
With insert moulding, we encapsulate other materials in plastic. We work a lot with metal and ceramics, but we can also injection mould other materials with insert moulding. With this injection moulding technique, you easily create a product made from plastic and another material.
Fully automated
Depending on the series size, we can fully automate insert moulding. Instead of placing parts into the mould by hand, we automate this to make production go even faster. In doing so, we guarantee a constant process and the quality of your product increases. We can integrate quality control after the injection moulding cycle by means of vision control systems.
The benefits of insert molding
- Insert molding saves time and costs, as the assembly process requires fewer actions.
- By combining with other materials, we can make plastic materials more durable and stronger.
- When insert molding is used to replace metal, the injection molding technique will ensure that the end product is lighter in weight.
- With the help of this injection molding technique, properties can be added that are not possible with plastic alone, which benefits functionality.
- There are many possibilities in the choice of shapes, colors (combinations), and materials.
- This form of plastic injection molding enables electrical insulation or thermal insulation.
