    Plastic Component Manufacturing

    Need a threaded insert for plastic? If you're working with thermoplastics or thermoset plastics, E-Z LOK has created threaded inserts for plastic with holding power in mind. All E-Z LOK plastic screw inserts have been designed for post-molding installation, which reduces molding costs and rejects waste due to misaligned inserts. And, with E-Z Lok screw inserts for plastic, you won't be "chasing" threads after molding. In addition, our threaded inserts for plastic molding are ideal for 3D printing projects that require machine threads.
