Axcesor has almost 30 years of experience insert molding and has the equipment and knowledge for all custom insert molding needs and solutions. Our capabilities match up perfectly for customized medium/low volume components and devices in many industries including medical and industrial.

Benefits of Insert Molding

Stronger Parts

Complex parts are created through a “one-shot” process that produces stronger parts than other molder processes.

Durable and Flexible Solutions

Insert molding eliminates fastener wear and tear to increase the life of the part.

Cost and Production Time Savings

By replacing secondary operations and components with an insert molding process or component.

Affordable Tooling

Molds designed for vertical operation are generally less expensive than horizontal molds. The reduced setup time makes short runs economical.
