Proven Process for Extreme Precision Micro Devices and Implants

General, Isometric, News
Isometric Micro Molding is the only micro molding company in the world with 4 in-house key capabilities for successful micro molding: Micro mold building, Micro molding, Micro Automation, and CT Scanning Metrology.  These are the four key factors for controlling quality and delivery for micro molding and assembly success. This blog will cover all four elements over time to help the reader with risk mitigation of micro molding devices. Our first blog series will focus on the micro mold design and build. High volume micro molding requires a specialized and proven process before the first plastic pellet is melted. Plan, plan, plan, execute is key to each micro molding project’s success. Talking about the mold isn’t always a comfort zone for those seeking micro molded plastic parts, however understanding the…

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. With extremely accurate tolerances, handling a micro part multiple times can accumulate error, cause product damage, and/or contaminate devices and implants.  Many micro molders outsource some portion of a project outside of their company, including the tooling, automation, and metrology.  This creates the risk of not only critical timelines and confidentiality, but it also creates the risk of missing critical datum structures established to provide micron-level component or assembly tolerances. Managing each part of the process in-house allows us to maximize…
