| The small size of devices require micro moldmaking |
|
The fact that electronics manufacturers are constantly introducing new products despite the economic downturn is good news to mold manufacturers who serve this industry. One moldmaker—who is known for its specialty niche of micro moldmaking—has realized huge success by capitalizing on the recent trend of the miniaturization of electronics. the country’s only vertically integrated moldmaker and molder that exclusively specializes in micro molds Mold manufacturers wishing to cash in on this drive toward the miniaturization of devices in a variety of industries—including electronics—need to know that micro molding is not the same as macro molding “only smaller.” Macro molding is the process of molding anything that is big—or anything that is larger than what’s considered micro molding. For the purposes of this article, micro molding is defined as once a device, component or product shrinks to the point of weighing just fractions of a gram or measuring less than 0.040 in. at the widest point, micro molding techniques are required. For electronics manufacturers, the successful application of micro molding for micro-sensors, circuit boards, clips, mountings, LED covers and packaging for discrete components has enabled them to satiate the demand for ever-smaller cell phones, digital cameras and other devices. The miniaturization of products triggers an inverse proportion of challenges. Electronics manufacturers seeking to develop advanced new micro designs must familiarize themselves with these new parameters or face roadblocks in making their product a reality.
