Precision Mold Tooling Services FAQ
What is precision molding?
Polymer injection-molding is a proven manufacturing process for high volume production of precision micro- and nano- scale medical devices, including microfluidics. Precision molding uses injection molding techniques to create highly detailed components or products with extremely tight tolerances, down to the order of microns, in order to create extremely complex micro-devices that must meet high standards of performance and quality.
What is medical molding?
Medical molding is a specialized form of injection molding process tailored to meeting the unique needs of medical devices and components. Tooling medical injection molds takes into account how injection molding processes can be optimized for specific types of polymers chosen for their biocompatibility and other medically necessary properties.
What is mold tooling?
To produce custom medical devices such as housings for medical equipment, surgical instruments, prosthetic implants, or lab-on-a-chip devices, developers need unique injection molds that can reliably produce the intricate designs of their products to tight tolerances. Precision mold tooling is the creation of unique mold tools in which polymers are injected or pressed to accurately and repeatedly produce designs with very intricate details.
What are the benefits of mold tooling services?
Mold tooling is a complicated process that must take into account the development of custom designs, the selection of proper mold materials and surface finishing, and other factors that require extensive expertise. Performing custom mold tooling in-house also requires significant upfront investment in equipment and machinery, along with ongoing maintenance costs.
Taking advantage of precision mold services drastically reduces the need for upfront financial and knowledge investment, reducing the risk of new ventures.
