Insert injection molding involves inserting a metal, ceramic, or other preformed component into the mold cavity during the injection molding process and fusing it with the plastic to form a single piece. This process enables products to maintain lightweight while also achieving increased strength, conductivity, or specialized functions. It is widely used in industries such as electronics, electrical appliances, automotive, and medical devices.

Q1: What is the difference between an insert mold and a conventional injection mold?
A1: An insert mold allows metal or other components to be embedded in plastic in a single step, enhancing the functionality of the product.
Q2: Will the insert loosen?
A2: Proper cavity design and melt encapsulation can ensure a secure bond.
Q3: Is insert molding suitable for automation?
A3: Yes, an automated insert robot system can be designed.
Q4: Are there any restrictions on the insert material?
A4: Common metals, ceramics, and high-temperature-resistant materials can be used.
Q5: Does this increase mold processing difficulty?
A5: Yes, but this can be effectively addressed through precision CNC and CAE analysis.
Q6: What is the typical mold lifespan?
A6: Under normal use, it can achieve up to one million mold cycles.
