Molding multiple parts from one pellet's worth of plastic is a challenge that growing numbers of molders want to tackle. It is driving development of new technology in injection machines, tooling, parts handling, and inspection.
Business Case for M5 Micro MoldingTechnology:
There currently are no standard off-the-shelf injection molding machines available on the market that are capable of injection shot sizes less than .05-.015 grams, and at these shot weights, repeatability and residence times are often an issue.
There is a need for an injection molding machine that can mold micro sized parts (.0005-.1g) with minimal to zero runner waste, See Material Cost Savings Case Study Below.
Run your moldable materials efficiently.
