Insert Molding
Scale Your Production with Expert Insert Molding Solutions
When managed by an expert, Insert Molding Solutions can streamline production, reduce costs, and enhance the strength and durability of your plastic components. This process involves inserting a pre-formed non-plastic part, like metal terminals or threaded inserts, into the mold and injecting thermoplastic resin around it to create a single, robust piece.
Insert Molding Solutions are perfect for low-volume production, bridge tooling, and prototyping. Industries like medical rely on these solutions to manufacture lighter, more durable end-use products.
At Omega Plastics, our team of insert molding experts employs both horizontal and vertical injection molding presses, offering versatile and flexible solutions to meet your manufacturing needs.
Advantages and Applications of Insert Molding Solutions
