Post machining and thread inserting

We often use this method to save money on tooling, for instance where you require a slot or hole in the side of a component which would have to be removed either with a manually loaded insert or a complete fully auto side action, we can machine the part after it is produced to give the same result. This can be a great way to get a product to market at minimal cost. This method is also a very effective way of creating an internal thread as we can tap the plastic part rather than having a thread removing device in the tooling. If you require a very strong thread we can also use a threaded insert, these are usually manufactured from brass but are available in stainless steel also. The inserts are either moulded in during production, or press fitted after, either way achieving a very strong thread.
