HOW DO WE METAL INJECTION MOLD?

MIM offers HIGH VOLUME, INTRICATE METAL PARTS with REPEATABILITY...

OVERMOLDING

Push the boundaries of plastic parts with our innovative overmolding process.

 

This advanced technique takes your injection molded base and seamlessly combines it with a second material, often a soft, rubber-like TPE. This creates a single part with a unique blend of properties. Imagine ergonomic grips for enhanced user comfort, decorative finishes for a touch of style, or even improved functionality like water resistance.

 

Overmolding opens a world of possibilities, allowing you to tailor your parts for superior performance, ergonomics and aesthetics.

FIREARMS

We understand the demands of firearm components. At ASH INDUSTRIES, we utilize high-precision injection molding to deliver parts known for their strength, reliability, and dimensional accuracy. Our commitment to quality ensures each component performs flawlessly, meeting the expectations of both manufacturers and firearm enthusiasts.

MEDICAL DEVICES

Overmolding Improves grip and control for surgical instruments like scalpels, forceps, and other instruments. Overmolding also works on hand held devices like nebulizers or blood pressure monitors. If you need enhanced durability and protection for delicate internal components of medical devices like defibrillators or anesthesia machines from impact and external factors. Luer fittings and other connectors benefit from overmolds that create secure seals to prevent leaks of fluids or gases.

Biocompatibility is improved with overmolding for implants that integrate with the body.

 The biggest benefit of metal injection molding (MIM) at ASH INDUSTRIES is arguably its ability to achieve complex geometries and intricate details at high volumes, offering several advantages over traditional metalworking methods:

  • Cost-effective for intricate parts: MIM excels at producing complex shapes that would be expensive or even impossible to create through machining or other traditional methods. 

  • High-precision and tight tolerances: MIM delivers exceptional detail and dimensional accuracy, rivaling traditionally machined components.

  • Mass production capabilities: Unlike some metalworking techniques limited to small batches, MIM allows for high-volume production of identical metal parts.

Exceptional MIM parts come from smarter thinking.
