 * Insert molding is uses the same equipment as injection molding
 * Clamping tonnage on the mold determines type of material to be used and complexity of the mold
 * Stampings used in parts are restricted in size by the mold
 * Most presses manufacturers provide proprietary options for automation
 * Automating presses decreases cycle time in most instances and allows for a more efficient process to occur
 * Applications exist in multiple areas, including automotive and electronics
 * Type of application determines both type of plastic and composition of the inserts
 * Length of cooling has direct effect on hardness of plastic
 * Rate of injection can determine whether or not voids form in the plastic after it has been injected into the mold
 * Inspection of parts accomplished either manually or with the aid of automated inspection systems
 * Multiple presses can be used in conjunction to form parts with inserts and more than one type of plastic overmold —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joegrohens (talk • contribs) 17:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
