Brass Threaded Insert — for Wood, Plastic & 3D-Printed Parts
Brass threaded inserts create a strong metal thread in soft host materials — wood, plastic, MDF, 3D-printed parts. Press-in (knurled), heat-set (for thermoplastics), and screw-in (self-tapping) types are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do heat-set inserts work in 3D-printed parts?
The insert is placed into a print-in pocket, then a soldering iron is used to heat the brass insert. The heat melts the surrounding plastic just enough for the insert to sink into place. As the plastic cools, it locks around the knurled insert. Provides a much stronger thread than tapping the plastic directly.
