Elite Mold Tech integrates metal and plastic with precision insert molding—perfect for electrical connectors, threaded inserts, and embedded structures.

High-Precision Insert Molding Services – Strengthening Components with Seamless Integration

Elite Mold Tech specializes in insert molding, a process that allows you to integrate metal, plastic, or other materials directly into your molded parts. This technique is perfect for applications where additional strength, electrical conductivity, or precise threading is required.

By embedding inserts such as metal fasteners, wires, or bushings into plastic parts during the molding process, we achieve stronger, more reliable components without the need for post-production assembly. This service is ideal for automotive, medical, and industrial applications, offering enhanced durability and performance.

What is Insert Molding?

Insert molding involves placing metal inserts into a mold before injecting plastic around them, creating strong, integrated parts. This process is ideal for producing components that require embedded elements such as threaded inserts or electrical contacts, commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Insert Molding Tolerances

説明 General Tolerance or Standard
General Dimensional Tolerances ±0.005” (±0.13 mm) for molded features; in line with ISO 20457 for plastic parts
Insert Placement Tolerance ±0.002”–0.005” (±0.05–0.13 mm) for manual or automated insert positioning
Insert Fit Tolerance Press-fit inserts: ±0.001”–0.003” (±0.025–0.076 mm) Looser fit may be used if thermal expansion/shrinkage is expected
Hole Diameter (Post-Mold) ±0.003”–0.005” (±0.076–0.13 mm), varies with core pin accuracy and plastic shrink rate
Shrinkage Compensation 0.4%–2% depending on plastic type (e.g., ABS, Nylon); insert molding accounts for differential shrinkage between metal and plastic
Flash Tolerance ≤ 0.004” (≤ 0.10 mm) at parting lines; critical sealing areas may require tighter control
表面仕上げ Ra 1.6–3.2 μm (63–125 μin) typical; can be textured or polished depending on mold cavity finish
Insert Material Compatibility Brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and threaded components; must withstand mold temps (typically 250°C–350°C)
Assembly Accuracy ±0.005” (±0.13 mm) for final assembled insert-molded part, depending on number of inserts and complexity

Elite Mold Tech Insert Molding: Stronger Bonds, Smarter Parts

In today’s fast-paced product development cycles, efficiency isn’t just a bonus—it’s a requirement. Insert molding offers manufacturers a powerful way to integrate multiple materials into a single, unified component, saving time, reducing assembly, and increasing reliability. At エリート・モールド・テック, we bring unmatched precision and engineering know-how to every insert molding project we handle.

Whether you need to embed metal threads in plastic housings or bond electronic components into structural parts, we deliver durable results that meet tight specifications.

What Is Insert Molding?

Insert molding is a specialized injection molding process where a pre-formed component—often metal or ceramic—is placed into a mold and encapsulated with plastic. The plastic forms around the insert during the molding process, creating a single integrated part with improved functionality and mechanical strength.

Common inserts include brass, stainless steel, wire, filters, magnets, and electronic contacts.

Unlike overmolding, where plastic is molded over another plastic, insert molding typically involves bonding plastic with non-plastic components.

Advantages That Go Beyond the Mold

Insert molding isn’t just about convenience—it offers real performance advantages:

  • Stronger part assemblies with fewer weak joints

  • Reduced need for adhesives, fasteners, or secondary assembly

  • Enhanced structural and electrical performance

  • Lower production costs and improved repeatability

  • Compact design integration for space-constrained applications

By reducing part counts and potential failure points, insert molding enables a cleaner, more efficient design.

Our Insert Molding Capabilities

At Elite Mold Tech, we specialize in tight-tolerance insert molding using advanced automation and tooling strategies to ensure insert accuracy, orientation, and bonding strength.

私たちの能力は以下の通りです:

  • Manual or robotic insert loading

  • Precision metal, ceramic, and electronic inserts

  • Custom tooling and short-run to high-volume scalability

We work with materials like ABS, nylon, PEEK, PC, and TPU, and can mold around inserts made of brass, steel, copper, aluminum, and more.

Where Insert Molding Works Best

Insert molding is used across industries where metal-plastic integration is essential. Some typical use cases:

  • 医療機器 – Embedded sensors, needle hubs, and surgical handles

  • コンシューマー・エレクトロニクス – Connectors, plugs, and housings with embedded pins

  • 自動車 – Vibration-resistant threaded components, bushings, and terminals

  • Industrial – Gaskets, enclosures, and handles with reinforcement inserts

Wherever you need to combine the electrical or mechanical properties of metal with the flexibility and form of plastic, insert molding provides the solution.
