Micro-Mold^® Parts

Micro-Molding is the essence of what we do at Accumold. It is where we began as a company and it remains at the heart of our operation today.

Our Micro-Molded parts range from about about 1/2 inch in size to parts measured in microns. These components often have complex geometry and very tight tolerances.

For example these molded rotors pictured have 18 tiny teeth around the rotor's 0.092" diameter.

Small Parts

Our Small Parts, or sometimes referred to as Miniature Parts, maintain the same precision and quality as our Micro-Molded parts do.

These components range from about 1/2 inch in size to about 3 inches in diameter. Or, at most, about a 1 ounce shot size on a 35-ton machine. Often times these parts have what is perceived as impossible micro-sized features that require micron exactness.

For example this fiber optic Rosa pictured here maintains micron level tolerances and has an aspheric, prescription lens molded right into the plastic.

Lead Frame Parts

Using Accumold's unique technology, we can mold plastic on and around all different types of metal, tin, copper, silver, and gold. Plastic is replacing ceramic as the packaging materials in some instances. Thermoplastics can provide 85% of the performance of ceramic at 25% of the cost.

Like our Micro and Small parts these components also can require very tight tolerances. For example this Bobbin is molded in an multi cavity mold with a cavity-to-cavity variance between .0002" and .0003".
