Accumold displays its micro-molding capabilities at MD&M West 2020 – booth #2852, showcasing examples of the impossibly small and intricate parts it has developed for medical device OEMs.
The medical device industry is constantly looking for smaller products and components with ever more exacting and often micron-level tolerances. The industry demands absolute precision, totally repeatable manufacturing processes, and zero failure rates for products that are frequently used in safety-critical applications. As such they must work alongside and partner with companies that are working at the cutting-edge of advanced design and manufacture.
In the area of micro-molding, it is all about heritage. Since 1985, Accumold has been pioneering the art and science of micro-molding, manufacturing extraordinarily small plastic parts that require extreme precision — typically measured in microns. The company is adept at the production of small-sized parts with micro features from 5cm to less than 1mm, and has specific expertise in insert molding, two-shot molding, and cleanroom molding using an array of materials including PEEK, LCP, and most engineering thermoplastics.
The company is truly vertically integrated, and as such it is able to operate as a one-stop partner in the development and manufacture of medical devices and components. Under one roof, Accumold offers design and material assistance, micro-tool fabrication, proprietary micro-molding services, cutting-edge metrology, assembly, and automation, facilitating the streamlining of customer’s medical product development process, and the attainment of optimal outcomes in terms of timeliness, cost, and accuracy.
Accumold has a reputation for consistent, repeatable production quality, and the ability to scale volumes from prototypes to millions and even billions of parts. Specifically for the medical device sector, the company works as an enabler, and is able to take on the challenge that many medical product designers have these days, namely finding a product development partner that can make their ever more ambitious, innovative, and complex designs a reality.
