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

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.

Micro Molding Challenges

  • 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

Micro Molding Injection Unit

  • 8mm Plunger / 14mm Screw – Max. Shot Size: 2.0cc (0.07oz)
  • 12mm Plunger / 14mm Screw – Max. Shot Size: 4.5cc (0.15oz)
