Micro Giants: Micromolding for Medtech

Micro Giants: Micromolding for Medtech Medical Product Outsourcing article featuring Isometric Micro Molding, Inc. Micromolding for medtech is becoming serious business. The medical industry’s demands are continually challenging suppliers and manufacturers to stretch their technical competencies into areas where they may fear to tread. Doctors and surgeons urge instruments for less invasive procedures and quicker recovery times, devices are shrinking and becoming more complex, and designers seek out smaller, high-precision components with materials and tolerances that years ago were deemed impossible. To further advance minimally invasive device designs and reduce part sizes, manufacturers are turning to micromolding. By definition, micromolding is an injection molding process, but the manufactured components require magnification to view details on or within the part. It can also be defined as parts with sizes or tolerances…

Thin-Walled Micro Injection Molding For Devices

Articles, Isometric

Isometric Micro Molding's micromachining of micro molds enables thin-walled micro injection molding in thermoplastic, silicone, and metal. To mold micro thin-wall devices, polymer selection, ultra-precision tooling, and knowledge of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) is critical. For micro molded devices to be small, compliant, comfortable, and/or flexible, they may require very wall thicknesses as thin as 0.002″ (50 µm). Also necessary is the analysis, tooling, processing, and handling of very thin-walled micro molded components. A growing number of medical and drug delivery devices require extremely thin walls that are consistent, pliable, and strong enough for either single-use or multiple uses over an extended period of time. Thin-walled vessels always accompany a discussion about aspect ratio (how thin and for how long it’s thin). In this article, we will highlight some examples…

Micro Medical Device Chips Deliver Pinpoint Pain-Relieving Therapies

Isometric, News

Micro Medical Device Chips Deliver Pinpoint Pain-Relieving Therapies Often times in micro manufacturing, we use what has been successful in nature. Commonly, natural pressure, or piezoelectric, capillary, and venture-type actions utilize pressure and surface tension to move fluids to and through implants and needles to move blood or active ingredients to direct places in the body. Isometric Micro Molding, Inc. molds parts the size of salt crystals that are scalable and economically feasible for the treatment of intraocular, cardio, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, diabetes, oncology skin treatment, and cardiac disease. The over-molded medical implant chips such described below is one example of the research to empirical test resulting in an enabling technology for many new micro implantable therapy devices using biocompatible micro molded polymer materials. Medical…
