Threaded inserts for plastic molding.

Standard threaded inserts for plastics range from about 1 8 9 16 in diameter to 1 8 5 8 in length with thread sizes ranging from 0 80 to 3 8 16 m2 to m10 depending on type. In addition these threaded inserts are an ideal solution for adding machine threads to parts created through 3d printing or additive manufacturing. Installing inserts post molding reduces the costs of moldings cuts reject waste caused by misaligned inserts and eliminates the need to chase threads after molding. Typically the insert is placed on a core pin in the mold during the molding cycle.

When the mold opens the core pins are withdrawn leaving the inserts permanently encapsulated in the plastic section with only the threads exposed. This size range accommodates a wide array of applications in industries including electronics automotive aerospace defense medical industrial and recreational equipment. Installing the inserts during the molding process eliminates the need for.
