If you're looking to combine metal and plastic in a single part while ensuring durability, insert molding is ideal for your project.
Skip to content “Precision is the cornerstone of innovation.”
Insert molding seamlessly combines metal components with plastic materials, delivering superior structural strength, enhanced functionality, and precise manufacturing outcomes—all in a cost-effective and efficient process.
Insert molding is an advanced injection molding technique that encapsulates metal inserts—such as threaded rods, bushings, or electrical components—within plastic, resulting in a single, cohesive part. This method enhances product durability, reduces assembly time, and improves overall performance.
At XC Machining, we specialize in providing top-tier insert molding services, seamlessly integrating metal and plastic components to create robust, high-performance parts tailored to your specific needs.
In our facility, you have a variety of machines for part production, including CNC turning lathes, milling machines, injection molding equipment, state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, and more.
At XC Machining, we try to ensure your choice is not limited, which is why we offer over 60 materials for you to choose from for your prototypes and products.
In-depth service engineers with the knowledge to address your manufacturing inquiries are available from XC Machining. Our engineers are always on the ground to offer valuable advice.
We offer a range of surface treatments and custom finishes on solid metal and plastic parts, including anodizing, spray painting, vapor polishing, sandblasting, silk screening, etc.
We use high-quality tooling mold in low-volume or high-volume injection molding processes. Our material choices ensure the molds are durable enough to withstand long production runs. These are some of the common materials we use:
Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.
Black oxide coating is a popular choice for enhancing the surface of steel and iron. This finish not only provides a visually appealing dark surface, but also offers excellent wear resistance. Additionally, the black oxide coating can enhance the lubricity and durability of the treated surface, making it an ideal option for various applications.
Passivation is a common process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing iron impurities and forming a protective oxide layer. This helps to improve the durability and performance of stainless steel in tough environments.
Paint serves as a surface coating that is effective on a wide range of materials, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection against corrosion. It is available in numerous color options, making it suitable for application on metals, polymers, wood, and various other substrates.
Enhance the shine and smoothness of your materials by utilizing polishing techniques. By using abrasives such as buffing wheels or polishing chemicals, you can elevate the reflectivity and overall aesthetic of metals, resulting in a stunning mirror-like finish.
Alodine coating, also known as chromate conversion coating, is widely used on metals like aluminum. It serves as an excellent primer for paint or powder coatings, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. By creating a thin layer of protection, it enhances the bond between subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting results.
Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.
Anodizing, a commonly used surface treatment for aluminum, creates a protective oxide layer on the metal’s surface. This not only enhances the durability and corrosion resistance of CNC machined parts but also adds to their visual appeal. Moreover, anodizing offers various options for coloring, making it an ideal choice for enhancing the overall aesthetic of the material.
Powder coating is an exceptional dry finishing method that utilizes electrostatic application of fine powder onto various surfaces. Once applied, the curing process takes place to guarantee a permanent treatment. With its remarkable ability to withstand impact, solvents, and UV radiation, powder coating provides an enduring and superior finish. From metals to polymers and even wood, there is a wide range of materials that can benefit from the protective coating of powder.
