Transfer Molding
Transfer molding is similar to compression molding but employs a piston/cylinder device. The material is placed above the closed, heated mold and is forced downward through the gate and into the mold cavities. The mold is held closed while the material cures. This process results in transfer molded parts being cleaner and more consistent than compression molded parts.
Leech designs, builds and runs molds to produce parts in the millions with engineering and commodity grade resins. Transfer molding methods are employed using thermoset materials in custom or industry standard colors.
To ensure manufacturing accuracy and integrity, Leech designs and builds their own mold tooling. From design to on-time delivery of finished parts, Leech's proficiency underwrites their legacy of excellence in professional service, precision and customer confidence.
