Molded Precision Plastic Components
Enough Room for Tight Tolerances
The PreciKam facility always has sufficient space for tight tolerances. This promise is an integral part of our molded precision plastic components. A tight tolerance comes with its own set of strict design and production parameters. If those parameters are deviated from even slightly, the device becomes useless.
At PreciKam, we pride ourselves on working within tolerances that few companies would even consider. We reduce complexity for our customers because we thrive in complexity. Thin-walled complex geometry is our niche. From 7-ton micro molding machines to 440-ton machines, we exceed your production needs. Our molded precision plastic components are produced in our facility 24 hours a day, over 3 shifts.
Our Certifications show PreciKam’s uncompromising commitment to our customers, providing them with timely delivery of high-precision moldings that meet or exceed their specific requirements.
Commitment to quality with a team that brings hundreds of years of cumulative experience. Our innovative team has helped us pioneer solutions for the medical, aerospace and automotive industries. The most demanding projects are where we excel.
Molding Unique Solutions
Our process, The PreciKam P5™, has made it possible to produce intricate and sophisticated parts and assemblies most appreciated by our customer’s Engineering Departments. Quality control, tight tolerances, engineered materials, and processes all play a critical role in reducing customer risk.
Optimized engineering for improved device performance. PreciKam’s molding process enables complex geometries that are otherwise difficult to achieve. This has a direct impact on performance. Tangible outcomes for medical devices include improving fluid flow. In aerospace and automotive, it may be offering a lightweight alternative that results in fuel efficiency.
If risk reduction isn’t reason enough, consider a few other direct benefits of working with us: cost-effectiveness, greater security, reduced emissions, increased durability or strength and greater design flexibility.

Insert Molding
Insert molding is a manufacturing process that involves a molded precision plastic component around an insert or substrate. The object that is placed into the mold is usually plastic or metal. This happens before the plastic or rubber material is injected, allowing the molten material to fuse around and adhere to the insert during the molding process.
- Greater flexibility by allowing you to combine different materials in the injection molding process. For example, we make satellite guidance components that require PreciKam to inject very small amount of a technical resin over very small gold fins.
- Increased durability or strength as the plastic material bonds directly to the insert.
- Reducing the time required by separate assembly steps.
Over Molding
This process involves molding one material, usually plastic or rubber, over another material, generally a metal or plastic part. The over-molded material is bonded to the substrate, creating a single integrated component with two or more materials or colors. Over molding allows two different resins to be used on the same part to improve function, appearance or durability.
For example, PreciKam makes automotive parts with a rigid substrate with a flexible ring to provide a seal. This process can be done using two molds or one mold performing two operations.
Micro Molding
When traditional injection molding techniques cannot produce complex parts because of size or intricacy, micro molding shines because of its ability to produce parts with very tight tolerances and specific features. Small and complex molded precision plastic components are always produced faster with micro molding.
Benefits of micro molding make it a good alternative across industries that want:
- Cost and production efficiency to maintain a competitive edge.
- Efficiencies maximized, production time decreased, and costs lowered.
- Waste and cost reduction – you get more parts per pound of resin than with conventional molding equipment.
- To reduce the risk of resin degradation caused by holding time in larger injection machines.
- More economical tooling and reduced lead time.
- The ability to mold extremely complex parts not always possible on conventional micro molding equipment.
- For example, PreciKam produces thousands of a small connector 0.015”x 0.030” x 0.100”.
Reel to Reel Molding
Also referred to as strip molding or continuous molding, reel to reel molding is a process used to produce long, continuous lengths of plastic or rubber parts. It is used to mold plastic parts that require sequential and automatic assembly but are difficult to orient or align and automates the production of small parts. PreciKam uses its expertise in tool design, equipment, and micro molding techniques to produce such sequential parts in one unit.
Reel to reel molding has many benefits, including:
- Greater convenience and lower costs for small components.
- Better alignment and orientation of parts.
- Cost-effectiveness.
- Production of parts that require high consistency and precision.
Plastic Part Machining
This manufacturing process involves shaping and forming plastic parts with the use of cutting tools and machines. It involves removing material from a plastic workpiece using precise cutting tools to create the shape, size, and surface finish desired.
The benefits of Plastic Part Machining include:
- Producing complex parts with accuracy and precision
- Cost-effectively producing small volumes
- A variety of surface finishes – ranging from matte, to polished, or textured
Two-material Molding
Also referred to as two-shot molding or dual-material molding, two-material molding is a manufacturing process that combines two different materials to produce a single plastic part. This is possible through the injection of two different materials into one mold cavity, producing a part with two or more colors, textures, or material properties.
The benefits are numerous when the expertise is available:
- Ability to produce a wide range of parts with different colors, textures, and material properties.
- Possibility to produce complex parts with multiple material properties in a single step.
- Reduction of production time and cost.
- Material waste reduction due to fewer separate components required.
