What makes custom insert injection molding different from standard injection molding?
Custom insert injection molding involves placing metal or other components into the mold cavity before injecting plastic, creating a single integrated part. This process requires precise temperature control, consistent shot size, and specialized equipment to ensure proper bonding and dimensional accuracy around the inserts without damaging them.
