Pre-placing threaded <strong>lat\u00f3n<\/strong> or stainless steel fasteners inside the mold cavity before resin injection characterizes primary in-mold encapsulation.

Thermal tip heat melts the plastic boss wall, permitting the insert to sink into place before the polymer re-solidifies.

El remachado t\u00e9rmico post-moldeo ofrece costos iniciales de molde m\u00e1s bajos porque el molde de inyecci\u00f3n utiliza pasadores de n\u00facleo lisos sin cierres flotantes ni caracter\u00edsticas de localizaci\u00f3n.
