An insert retention apparatus for use with an insert mold tool includes an actuator having a power system, a drive assembly and a control unit. The retention apparatus also includes an insert mold tool and a retention post operably connected to the drive assembly of the actuator. The retention post is preferably configured for movement through the insert mold tool between a first position wherein the retention post engages and maintains a stamping in fixed position within the insert mold tool while a liquid resin is injected into the insert mold tool to a second position wherein the retention post is disengaged and moved relative to the stamping prior to the resin completely curing. The invention also relates to a method of forming an overmold on a stamping.
