MTD MICRO-TECH BULLETIN NO. 1402

Background
The world of “micro manufacturing” challenges the creation of micro-injection molded parts from nearly every perspective. The notion that Micromolding requires highly specialized tooling and specialized molding processes, seems logical to both experts and newcomers alike, however, very little is understood about an area which can have just as much impact on the success of Micromolded parts as tooling and processing. This area is “Micro-material Science”, and as important as it is in highly engineered “permanent” materials such as PEEK, it has a hidden, long-term significance for fragile Bioresorbable materials, too.
