Custom Insert Molding With EPTAHUB

EPTAHUB provides insert mold services as part of its injection molding capabilities. For a free insert molding design review and quote, upload your CAD files. Our professional team of injection molders will respond to you within 24 hours. If you want to learn more about our injection molding capabilities, download our design guide here. If injection molding isn’t the most suitable choice for you, you can also try urethane casting or 3D printing.

Insert Molding is an injection molding process that works particularly well for parts with threaded holes. It can also help you develop better wheels, pulleys, fan blades, and other similar components. When done properly, insert molding can offer the following benefits:

  • Eliminate assembly: You can produce insert molded parts in one go instead of having to carry out assembly later.
  • Reduce costs: While insert molding costs more than standard injection molding, these expenses are usually balanced out by the fact that post-assembly is no longer required.
  • Lower the size and weight of the part: A plastic part with a metal insert is generally lighter than an all-metal part.
  • Improve reliability: Metal mold inserts ensure the functionality of threads and reduce wear and tear throughout the part's lifespan.
  • Improve part strength: As a “one-shot” process, it can create stronger parts compared to overmolding and other processes.

Certified Components

We offer ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485, UL, ITAR, and ISO 7 & 8 Medical Clean Room molding.

Insert Molding Process Advantages

  • Durability: Metal inserts guarantee the functionality of threads and minimize wear and tear over the part’s service life.
  • Strength: As a “one-shot” process, insert molding can produce stronger parts than overmolding and other processes.
  • Creating Production Parts: Insert molding is ideal for making prototypes and production parts.

Other Types of Injection Molding at EPTAHUB

Thermoplastic Injection Molding

EPTAHUB delivers high-quality plastic injection molded parts in as few as 10 business days. EPTAHUB can assist you in designing and manufacturing tools, dies, and molds for rapid tooling (used for prototyping) to advanced mold making (for production runs). Full injection molding capabilities, including overmolding, unlimited undercuts, and internal/external threads, are available.

Overmolding

Overmolding allows you to combine multiple materials into a single part. One material, typically a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE/TPV), is molded onto a second material, which is often a rigid plastic. Think of your toothbrush handle—this single piece has both rigid and rubbery components. It’s an excellent way to enhance the performance and appearance of plastic parts.

Range Of Mold Making Options

Our carefully vetted network of partners enables us to quickly convert your 3D part data into a high-quality injection mold at fast speeds. We provide services ranging from design and manufacturing of tools, dies, and molds for prototyping to production runs. Plastic blow molds, aluminum and steel tooling, as well as 2-shot and 3-shot molding, are also offered. And with EPTAHUB, you own your own tools.
