It is possible to create injection or compression molded plastic parts that would be difficult or impossible to machine using traditional materials such as steel or aluminum.
These parts can be molded with assembly features in place to reduce product fabrication and secondary operations.
These materials can be formed into multi-ply laminates to offer off-axis performance, post-molded into complex shapes, and overmolded with traditional thermoplastics to provide localized reinforcement in specific part locations.

Insert Molding
The most widely used process is insert
molding, where a pre-molded insert is
placed into a mold and the TPE is shot
directly over it (Figure 1).
