DWE provides insert molding for demanding applications, backed by experienced engineers who can help develop the process, materials, and tooling around your requirements.
Metal Insert Molding
Sealed Insert Molding
Double Insert Molding
Prototype Through Production
Insert molding integrates preformed components directly into a molded plastic part, eliminating assembly steps while creating a strong, repeatable connection between materials.
DWE works with metal and other inserts to manufacture complex components for demanding applications and will develop and validate each of your components.
Our molding and engineering teams work together to develop repeatable processes for components that require precise insert placement, material compatibility, and consistent performance.
Develop and validate your design, then transition it into repeatable production without starting over with a new manufacturing partner.
Our range of press sizes allows us to accommodate everything from miniature precision components to substantially larger molded parts.
A diverse equipment base provides the capacity and flexibility to support varying part sizes, production requirements, and program volumes.
We process-engineer and deliver high-performance materials for applications requiring greater strength, durability, temperature resistance, or other specialized properties.
Successful insert molding requires more than placing an insert into a mold. Insert geometry, positioning, material selection, tooling, and molding conditions all affect the finished component.
DWE’s engineering team works alongside yours to review manufacturability, materials, and potential production issues before they become costly tooling or production problems.
That support can include:
Design for manufacturability
Insert and material evaluation
Tooling development
Process development and validation
Existing product troubleshooting
Transition from prototype to production
Insert molding can replace separate fastening, joining, or assembly operations by incorporating components directly into the molded part.
For customers, that can mean fewer individual components, fewer production steps, and a more consistent finished assembly.
DWE is especially well suited for projects where molded plastics must work alongside metal components, electronics, wiring, or other integrated features.
Insert-molded components depend on consistent positioning, molding conditions, and dimensional accuracy.
DWE combines engineering oversight, controlled molding processes, and inspection to help ensure inserts are properly integrated and finished components meet project requirements.
This approach supports performance-critical applications, backed by a 99.7% defect-free production rate and an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
DWE’s engineering, tooling, molding, assembly, and secondary capabilities allow us to look beyond the molding operation and solve for the complete component.
That’s particularly valuable for insert molded products that require multiple materials, integrated components, additional operations, or specialized performance.
