What's Suitable for Core Insert Molding

Simply put, Core Insert molding should be evaluated for any part that contains a threaded hole. An electronics housing unit or medical instrument case with a bolt-on cover are good examples. Knobs, handles, or dials that screw onto a threaded stud are also examples, as is a plastic air or hydraulic manifold requiring additional strength in threaded areas. In fact, almost any plastic component that attaches to a mating piece with screws or bolts will benefit from molded fasteners

A rotating part such as a fan blade or a drive gear is another good candidate for Core Insert molding. Here, a bronze or brass bushing is molded into the part and serves as the bearing surface, greatly improving product life over non-bushed parts. A metal surgical saw that calls for a plastic handle could be insert molded, size permitting. Wheels and sprockets, pulleys and augers, most any plastic part that requires greater strength or wear characteristics in certain areas is quite likely a match for insert molding

The Right Stuff Of Core Insert Molding

Which thermoplastics can be Core Insert molded? There are few limitations. Stiff, engineering-grade plastics such as Delrin or nylon are good options, as are polyethylene and ABS, but even elastic liquid silicone rubber (LSR) parts can be used. The largest constraint comes from those plastics with very high molding temperatures, such as PEI (Ultem) or PEEK. Since Core Inserts are hand-loaded at Protolabs, and because the quick-turn molding process uses non-cooled aluminum tools to reduce part cost and speed turnaround time, placing an insert into a mold that’s been heated to several hundred degrees is a like reaching into a hot oven for a freshly baked cookie—if you’re not careful, you’ll burn your fingers
