WHERE COMPLEXITY TAKES SHAPE
Complex parts, made repeatable.
When a part combines materials, encapsulates a metal component, or is too small for standard molding, precision matters at every step. Our engineers bring material selection and bonding expertise to every program, supported by tool design and fabrication and specialized vertical, multi-shot, and micromolding equipment.
Four specialty processes
Insert, over, two-shot, and micro molding under one roof.
Fewer secondary operations
Molding components together can eliminate separate assembly, soldering, and adhesives.
Regulated-industry rigor
ISO 13485:2016-certified and FDA-registered, with IQ/OQ/PQ validation.
INSIDE SPECIALTY MOLDING
Five capabilities,
one standard.
Multi-material, insert, and miniature parts, with material expertise guiding every run.
Material & Process Expertise
Complex parts depend on the right material choices and a well-designed tool. Our engineers bring material selection and bonding compatibility expertise, backed by tool design and fabrication.
Overmolding
Two or more plastic or elastomer materials molded into one part, creating soft-touch grips, seals, and multicolor designs without separate assembly.
Insert Molding
Metal and pre-fabricated components encapsulated in resin on advanced vertical machines, including sourcing of non-plastic components and medical luer threads to ISO 80369.
Two-Shot Molding
Rotary, single-machine two-shot molding for multi-material parts at higher volumes.
Micro Molding
Many years of micro molding experience producing tight-tolerance parts as small as 0.001 grams, including surgical components and microfluidic chips.
Specialty molding is just one part of a connected program.
