HomeCapabilities
PROCESSES
THERMOSET

Compression molding

Compression molding is used for many commodity parts and is conducive to over-molding metal inserts. Insert specifications are crucial. Which is why Taro produces many inserts in-house.

THERMOSET

Transfer molding

Transfer molding is often used for parts with more detail or very small inserts. To balance the transfer pressures vs clamp pressures takes experience that Taro has.

THERMOPLASTIC

Injection molding

Thermoplastic Injection molding is often a cheaper way to mold, however many of the high performance materials used in thermosets trump thermoplastics.

INSERT HANDLING

Insert & over-molding

The tolerances and positions of inserts when over-molding is considered the "black art" of molding. Experience is key.

SECONDARY OPERATIONS

Post-mold processing

When the part requires de-burring, shaping, drilling, or cutting after molding, dedicated machines cut costs.

ENGINEERING

Drawing review

Start with the part print and material specification. A focused review can clarify process questions, insert requirements, quantities and items to resolve before production.
