Micro Injection Molding Service and its use in Medical equipment makenica.com/micro-injection-molding-service-and-its-use-in-medical-equipment March 12, 2021
Micro Injection molding service is an advanced molding process being employed by several injection molding companies that creates lightweight, high-precision and highprecision bits. These pieces are tiny—usually less than 4 millimetres in diameter or less than 1 gramme in weight. The method starts with the mould, sometimes referred to as the tooling. The mould has tiny cavities in the form of the required component. During the LIM (liquid injection molding) process, LSR is rapidly pumped in to the heated cavity, vulcanising and shaping the part. Some micro injection molding processes use a runner, a channel used to guide the cavity material. Alternatively, by using direct gating methods, the material is pumped directly into the component, removing the runner and the waste material. Tremendous precision and accuracy are required in the manufacture of the tool (mould) and the components' production. Since the pieces are so fragile, even slight misalignment may have a significant impact on production.
