This specialized equipment fabricates intricate, often minuscule, components from a variety of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials. It operates on the same basic principles as conventional injection molding but with enhanced precision and control over smaller shot volumes and tighter tolerances. A typical application includes the production of medical implants, microfluidic devices, or electronic connectors.
The capacity to produce highly precise small parts makes this technology vital in industries where miniaturization and complex geometries are critical. This process contributes significantly to advancements in fields like medical technology, micro-optics, and microelectronics by enabling the creation of components previously impossible to manufacture. Its development has been driven by the increasing demand for smaller, lighter, and more functional products across various sectors.
