Isometric Micro Molding-Specialist in Scalable Intraocular Devices

General, Isometric, News
Micro molding continues to play a significant role in the worldwide growth of ophthalmic devices.  The enabling component is usually the smallest component in a medical or pharmaceutical implant or device.  This is due to the discomfort of something large being put into the eye. When it comes to our eyes, the smaller the device the better. Age-related eye diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular continue to cause loss of vision either significantly or completely. Ophthalmic and intraocular implants are largely made up of many micro-sized and highly precise components and assemblies. CONDITIONS AND TREATMENT: The eye is a complex and sensitive organ.  There are many structures and targets, located closely together and sometimes, in terms of a target for treatment, these structures are conflicting with one…

Why 100% Vertical Integration is Important for Micro Components and Assemblies

General, Isometric, News
Complete Vertical Integration : ON SITE and IN SIGHT MATTERS. Working with Isometric Micro Molding maximizes quality and reduces risk. Isometric Micro Molding mitigates customer risk by providing excellence in precision by vertical integration and full control of the tooling, molding, assembly, automation, and CT scanning processes- ALL right here on site and in sight.

Managing each part of the process in-house allows us to maximize…
