If your parts require metal inserts like bushings, threaded fasteners, terminals, or custom components embedded within plastic housings—our expert team and advanced molding technology can help you bring your designs to life with efficiency and consistency.

What is Insert Molding?

Insert molding is an advanced injection molding process in which metal or other rigid components (called inserts) are placed into the mold cavity before molten plastic is injected around them. Once cooled, the inserts become securely encapsulated within the plastic part, creating a strong mechanical bond.

This technique eliminates the need for secondary assembly processes like gluing, screwing, or welding, resulting in a more robust, reliable part.

Benefits of Dankemold’s Insert Molding Services

Improved Part Strength

The combination of metal and plastic results in high-performance components that benefit from the strength of metal and the design flexibility of plastic. This is ideal for load-bearing or threaded applications.

Reduced Assembly Costs

Insert molding eliminates the need for additional fastening or bonding operations, saving time and reducing labor costs in the assembly process.

Design Flexibility

Complex geometries and detailed component layouts are easily achievable with insert molding, offering greater design freedom for engineers and product developers.

Enhanced Durability

Encapsulating inserts during the molding process ensures consistent alignment and eliminates the risk of loosening, improving part durability and reliability under stress.
