Micro Moulding
Micro moulding for precision plastic components
Plast Plastics develops controlled micro-moulding processes for sub-gram components and demanding applications where tooling, material handling, positioning and measurement must work as one production system.

At micro scale, small variations in gate and runner design, dosing, material condition, temperature, insert location and measurement method can affect the finished component. A capable process therefore depends on more than the moulding machine alone.
Micro-tooling
Gate, vent, runner and cooling concepts suited to very small shot volumes and critical features.
Controlled processing
Repeatable dosing, temperature control, injection conditions and material-handling discipline.
Insert positioning and over moulding
Controlled orientation and location of small inserts before over moulding, subject to application review and trials.
Precision measurement and learning
Measurement planning, controlled trials, parameter history, failure analysis and continuous refinement.
Micro insert over-moulding process
Produce or prepare the micro substrate or insert.
Orient and position it repeatably without damage or contamination.
Control material flow, interface quality, flash and final dimensions during over moulding.
What to share with us
The more context you can provide, the better we can assess the manufacturing route and respond with relevant information.
- Part drawing or 3D model
- Resin and insert material, if known
- Critical dimensions and functional features
- Expected annual volume
- Application environment and regulatory requirements
- Validation, cleanliness and traceability expectations
