Micro Molding Design Guidelines<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These micro molding guidelines reflect some of the capabilities<\/a> we\u2019ve been asked to produce and are to give a general idea of what can be accomplished. Each project is unique in size, shape and material and any one of those can greatly affect the molding capabilities. In some cases it can even exceed the general guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See how you can challenge us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micro-Mold\u00ae Platform<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\n\u2013 Parts up to 1\/2\u201d (13mm) in the largest dimension
\n\u2013 Our smallest part to date is roughly 800\u00b5m (0.031\u201d) x 300\u00b5m (0.012\u201d) x 380\u00b5m (0.015\u201d)
\n\u2013 Thin wall section near .004\u201d (.1mm)
\n\u2013 Feature aspect ratios around 6:1
\n\u2013 Part volume .005 in3 (.08 cm3) or less
\n\u2013 Gate size as small as \u00d8 .004\u201d (\u00d8.1mm)
\n\u2013 Ejector pins as small as \u00d8 .010\u201d (\u00d8 .254mm)
\n\u2013 Parts must have a gate and ejection location consideration
\n\u2013 Material selection can greatly affect the fill and definition of features\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Mold Platform<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\n\u2013 Parts up to 9 in2 (58cm2)
\n\u2013 Our largest part to date is roughly 3.5\u201d (9cm) in diameter or about 1oz in shot weight.
\n\u2013 Many of the same Micro-Mold\u00ae type features can be achieved
\n\u2013 Material selection on larger parts with finer details is more critical\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
