What Is Insert Molding?
Insert molding is a specialized injection molding process where metal, plastic, or engineered inserts are placed into a mold cavity before molten plastic is injected. During molding, the plastic flows around the insert and solidifies, creating a strong, permanent bond without the need for secondary assembly. Unlike traditional injection molding, which produces fully plastic parts, insert molding services allow multiple materials to be combined into a single, functional component in one manufacturing step.
By permanently encapsulating inserts during molding, insert molding services deliver parts with enhanced mechanical strength, improved wear resistance, and reliable electrical or structural performance. The process reduces part weight compared to all-metal components while increasing durability over assembled parts. These functional and structural advantages make insert molding an ideal solution for applications that demand precision, long-term reliability, and production-ready performance across industries such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
Surface Finish Options for Insert Molding Services
Surface finishes play an important role in both the appearance and performance of insert molded parts. With professional insert molding services, surface finishes can be achieved directly through mold textures or applied after molding to enhance durability, aesthetics, and functionality. The right finish helps improve wear resistance, grip, corrosion protection, and overall product appeal without compromising part integrity.
Achieved directly from polished mold surfaces, ideal for clean, cosmetic parts requiring a uniform appearance.
Mold-applied textures improve grip, reduce glare, and hide minor surface marks on visible components.
A low-gloss surface that provides a refined look while minimizing fingerprints and surface reflections.
Applied post-molding to enhance color, surface protection, and environmental resistance.
Metal inserts can be plated to improve corrosion resistance, conductivity, or visual appeal.
Permanent, high-precision markings for part identification, branding, or traceability without affecting dimensions.
Insert Molding Process at Lewei Precision
Insert Preparation & Placement
Metal or custom inserts are precisely positioned in the mold using fixtures or automation to ensure accurate alignment and repeatable results.
Plastic Injection & Encapsulation
Molten thermoplastic is injected under controlled conditions, flowing evenly around the insert to fully encapsulate it.
Cooling & Bond Formation
The plastic cools and solidifies, forming a strong mechanical and thermal bond that permanently secures the insert.
Part Ejection & Quality Inspection
Finished parts are ejected and inspected for dimensional accuracy, insert integrity, and tolerance compliance.
