Capricorn Mouldings offers reliable metal insert moulding and mechanical assembly services for customers requiring strong, multi-material plastic components. These specialised injection moulding techniques allow metal or additional plastic elements to be integrated directly into the moulding process, creating durable, high performance parts in a single manufacturing step.
Insert moulding involves placing a pre-formed component, typically metal into the mould tool before plastic is injected around it. This process creates a single integrated part where the insert becomes permanently encapsulated within the moulded component.
Mechanical assembly involves various post moulding & secondary operations which we offer. This enables us to deliver fully assembled functional moulded components.
With over 40 years of injection moulding experience, Capricorn Mouldings works closely with customers to ensure every project benefits from efficient production and consistent quality.
