Isometric Featured Article: “Diabetes Technology Manufacturers Seemingly on a Sugar Rush”

Articles, Isometric

Isometric Featured Article: "Diabetes Technology Manufacturers Seemingly on a Sugar Rush" Isometric Micro Molding was recently featured in a Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) article that shared innovations in diabetes technology, market trends, and the manufacturers that support this high precision industry. As shared in the article, the latest diabetes management devices are purposely small and discreet for wearer ease. To create components so small, traditional fabrication methods can't be used. Instead, high precision components require specialized micromolding for successful manufacturing. As a medical focused micro molder, Isometric Micro Molding has the in-house capabilities and experienced team to successfully manufacture these tiny components. In fact, Isometric has even proven they can surpass previously held flow lengths and limits. Today's Diabetes Technology Requires Micron Experience "Isometric Micro Molding works in tight tolerances…

Today’s Micro Molding Challenges, Part 2: Tooling – The Enabler

Articles, Isometric

Today’s Micro Molding Challenges, Part 2: Tooling - The Enabler Today's Micro Molding Challenges, Part 2 pushes forward the discussion on best practices for micro molding. It is well known that micro mold and micromachining are key to the realization of micro molded components and micro automated assemblies. Both capabilities require tooling and fixtures manufactured to extreme precision and positional accuracy in order to produce micro core pins, micro cavity geometry, and microfluidic surfaces. In Part 1: Tooling—the enabler, published in the February issue of CMM, we address the risk-mitigating criteria in micro mold design, focusing on runner style and gate style. This second installment details other such criteria in relation to gate diameter, parting lines, ejection, and cooling. Mold Design Criteria Gate diameter Figure 1 shows gate diameters of…

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…
