Sample Products

Insert Molding of Polycarbonate Waterproof Cases

Highly precise plastic injection molding was required to produce this waterproof camera case. Built to customer specifications, this 380-gram case required insert molding of the front and rear of the case as well as double-injection molding of the keys and push button.

Measuring 130mm x 80mm x 95mm, the case is composed of polycarbonate and TPE, with black and red coloring. Each unit was pressure-pot tested, which involved subjecting it to the equivalent of 50 meters of water.

Double-Injection Molding of a TPE Controller

This controller was designed for use in hospital bed applications and required three individual plastic injection-molding processes. The front cover was double-injection molded and had keys inserted into the mold — this process is known as "co-molding.” Single-injection molding was used to manufacture the rear case and the keys utilized in mold decorations to apply the symbols.

The finished controller measured 190.5mm x 69.85mm x 31.75mm and was composed of polycarbonate and TPE. Ergonomically designed for ease of use, the buttons are laid out for easy accessibility. The unit is also completely sealed against spills for easy cleaning.

Double-Injection Molding of Polycarbonate Keys

Used in the telecommunication industry, this keypad is molded from polycarbonate and required two-color, double plastic-injection molding, which was performed on our double-injection press. The combined shots weighed 25 grams, with a finished size of 82.55mm x 63.50mm x 14.2875mm.

The completed part featured graphics that are protected from abrasion and material that will allow backlighting if required.

Insert Molding of a Polycarbonate Body Massage Tool

The medical massage tool shown here was fabricated by insert-molding die-cast aluminum components with polycarbonate and TPE. Molded to the customer-supplied specifications, the finished product measured 152.40mm with an approximate diameter of 38.10mm.

Weighing 500 grams, it was ergonomically designed for a firm, comfortable grip with backlighting possible to confirm power when in use.

Insert Molding of a Scanner Cover

Used within an ATM scanner/barcode reader assembly, this custom insert-molded cover is composed of aluminum with polycarbonate and TPE. Fabrication included insert molding, overmolding, and surface printing.  The finished part measured 204.80mm in length, 288.93mm in width, and 39.70mm in height. The processes applied to manufacture this component provide a durable, robust finish that will hold up to years of heavy use.
