👉 Insert engineering, also known as insert manufacturing or insert technology, is a process used in the production of components and assemblies where pre-designed inserts or features are inserted into a larger part or assembly to enhance functionality, fit, or performance. This technique is commonly employed in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics to improve precision, reduce assembly time, and integrate additional functionalities without altering the primary design of the base component. Inserts can be made from various materials, including metals, polymers, or composites, and are typically manufactured using advanced techniques like machining, additive manufacturing (3D printing), or injection molding. The precise insertion process ensures that the inserts are securely and accurately positioned within the assembly, leading to improved reliability, reduced weight, and enhanced overall performance of the final product.
