In-Mold Assembly technology allows us to employ non-bonding materials to manufacture high quality, fully functional, articulating, multiple component assemblies without the need for post mold assembly. This means that each time the mold opens, a fully assembled and functional part exits the mold ready to ship.

Product Applications

Cargo Net Cover
HVAC Outlet
Tether Bezel (hinged)
Utility Hook (hinged)
 

The advantages of In-mold Assembly:

  • Hinged or socket joints can be made stronger than assembled joints. This can improve safety in items, such as small parts assembled for children's toys.
     
  • Joint rotation can be smoother and more consistent due to elimination of parting lines and tolerances common for conventionally assembled joints.
     
  • Eliminates expenses and quality problems associated with post mold assembly such as snapping together or use of fasteners or adhesives.
     
  • Joints can be tighter, there-by effectively eliminating rattle in components.
