Material | Radel (PES), Clear Polycarbonate Lens |
Mold Style | All single cavity production molds - 6 total |
Industry | |
Unique Features | Although IWP does not assemble the electronics, we do everything else, including: sonic welding, foam gasket, assembly of all mechanical components. |
Material | Noryl (PPE+PS) |
Mold Style | 1 cavity production |
Industry | |
Unique Features | After molding, (13) threaded inserts are hot-plate welded into place. Gold-plated and brass stampings are assembled before zinc and gold-plated screws are torqued. A final operation to "set" the stampings into the proper location completes the assembly. |
Material | Amodel (PPA) |
Mold Style | 4 cavity production |

Unique Features | After molding, parts are transferred to a "foam-in-place" machine which consists of a six-axis robot that adds a foam bead to the part. |
Material | Golf Ball |
Mold Style | Pad Printing |
Industry | Sales & Marketing |
Unique Features | No, we don't make golf balls! But, we have the ability to pad print on complex shapes like the dimples on a golf ball. |
Material | Valox DR48 (PBT) |
Mold Style | 4 cavity production |
Industry | |
Unique Features | Lettering on part is pad printed. Originally, the parts had raised lettering that was hot stamped using a flat die over the raised letters. In a cost savings option to the customer, we suggested that the lettering be removed from the mold. This allowed the mold to run a large quantity of "blank" disks that could be customized per order at a later time with the correct letting format. |
Material | Thermx (PCT) |
Mold Style | 1 cavity w/ interchangeable inserts |
Industry | |
Unique Features | Mold is capable of many variations. Pad print dies are also changed frequently to number circuits accordingly. Brass inserts are sonic welded on outside mounting holes. |
