WHAT IS INSERT MOULDING?

Insert moulding is the process of molding thermoplastic material around a preformed component (an insert) in order to create a finished part that incorporates multiple materials. The inserts are typically metal parts that are used to reinforce the mechanical properties of the plastic part.

FAQ

  • What is Insert Moulding?

    Insert moulding is a process where components such as metal parts, wires, and cables are combined into a single unit by injecting thermoplastic around them. This process enhances the component's strength and functionality.

  • What are the advantages of insert moulding?

    Insert moulding offers enhanced part strength, improved component reliability, reduced assembly and labor costs, and the ability to mould materials that are not compatible with other processes.

  • What types of inserts can be used in insert moulding?

    Various types of inserts can be used, including metal parts, screws, pins, and electrical components.

  • Can insert moulding be used for complex parts?

    Yes, insert moulding is suitable for complex geometries and designs, allowing for the integration of multiple parts into a single component.

  • How quickly can I receive my insert moulded parts from Geomiq?

    Geomiq offers a rapid turnaround for insert moulded parts. You can expect to receive your parts in as little as 15 days after placing an order.
