Optosem provides a comprehensive, one-stop solution for insert and over-molding, from mold design to mass production, ensuring precision and quality at every step.
As an ISO/IATF 16949-certified company, Optosem is committed to delivering uncompromising quality in insert and over-molding products. We invest in state-of-the-art equipment and technology to maintain our competitive edge and consistently meet the high standards expected by our global customers, including Tier One and Tier Two automotive suppliers. Our in-house tooling department ensures a rapid speed-to-market advantage, enabling us to produce high-quality parts for diverse applications, including coil and lamination insert molding.
Insert molding is a process where plastic is injected around a pre-placed metal or plastic insert within the mold cavity. The insert may be as simple as a thread or rod, or as complex as a battery or motor. This technique creates a strong bond between materials, producing components that meet demanding specifications for strength, durability, and functionality.
Optosem's molding expertise extends beyond insert molding to include high-tensile strength plastics such as PAI, Ultem, PEEK, PPS, and Nylon, as well as micro-injection molding. Our commitment to innovation and quality enables us to supply industry-leading insert and over-molded components to customers around the world.
Our process eliminates the need for post-production assembly, reducing production time and costs, and enabling shorter production cycles.
Insert molding creates a strong bond between materials, resulting in superior impact resistance and longer shelf life. Metal inserts also add reinforcement, reducing wear and tear and increasing overall part longevity.
By combining different materials, insert molding allows for a lighter overall product, achieving the required functionality and strength with reduced weight.
