MICRO MOLDING OPTIONS
High dosing accuracy with an ultra-repeatable process
Macro Molding
Uneven dosing volume can be adjusted by packing / holding stage.
Micro Molding
Micro Molding Challenges
Micro Molding Injection Unit
The material solidification is very quick (short fill time) so that packing / holding stage is not effective. It is easy to detect a non-fill area or flash area. In order to fill a thin-wall area, it requires a higher injection pressure, which depends on dosage volume. The machine performance is extremely important in these instances.
-
Small shot size – miniaturized parts, reduced waste (runner), residence time
-
Advanced polymers – shear sensitive, degradation factor, high temperature, high/low viscosity
-
Special polymers – implantable grade, low viscosity silicone, shape memory, bio-absorbable
-
Complex geometry – thin wall section, multiple core pulls, no conventional ejection
-
