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.

Run your moldable materials efficiently.

  • API Resins

  • Bioresorbable

  • Fluoropolymers

  • Long Term Implantables

  • All Thermoplastic Resins

  • Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)

  • MIM (Cobalt Chrome • SST • Titanium) & others

 

M5 has development such a technology, that has been proven to work and is being used in commercial applications.
