Meticulous Planning Leads to Better Products

As the nation’s only company exclusively dedicated to micro molding, MTD Micro Molding has the design engineering experience, techniques, and capacity to create safe, reliable, efficient, cost-effective, and innovative products for your business.

MTD Micro Molding requires the highest level of engineering, micro injection mold design, and manufacturing competence for successful product realization. Besides using customized tools, MTD Micro Molding runs a variety of tests to predict the moldability of new applications. If necessary, MTD Micro Molding adjusts the product design to facilitate better results. We then continuously verify our micro mold flow predictions; this enhances our ability to estimate the correct fill along with the percentage capability of the molding equipment needed for each application.

Additionally, MTD Micro Molding developed a variety of special molds for characterizing materials that aren’t support by MoldFlow, which allows us to estimate results without the need to prototype for some applications.

Medical Device Manufacturing


Micro Injection Mold Design
Micro Mold Design Material Recommendations

MTD Micro Molding works with an array of materials – from PP to PEEK, including many bioabsorbable compounds – which gives your company flexibility, especially with medical device manufacturing. Our goal is to understand the operating environment, physical requirements, chemical compatibility, and assembly factors in order to define the ideal material for your project.

 

Micro Mold Manufacturing

To improve the micro mold design process, MTD Micro Molding utilizes a tool known as PFMEA. This helps MTD Micro Molding identify design risks and leads to changes that will ultimately result in “first-shot” quality products, which means faster-to-market times and reduced costs for your business. MTD Micro Molding also uses state-of-the art micro machining equipment that can’t be found at any other macro molding or micro molding company.

CAD/CAM

MTD Micro Molding’s paperless process ensures that everyone involved has the most current model details for all aspects of mold construction, which increases efficiency.

 

Micro Mold Prototyping

MTD Micro Molding developed 11 prototype mold frames covering a multitude of configurations. All frame constructions include pre-hardened, stainless steel base components, hardened A2 tool-steel inserts, precision interlocked frame (for accurate registration at parting lines), and a guided ejector mechanism.

This permits us to construct a custom set of inserts, get first samples within one-to-four weeks, and enhance the speed of your order.

No matter how challenging your project, trust MTD Micro Molding to design and build the best products for your company - contact us today for more information.

"On paper, it’s not difficult to design the perfect part with a five thousandths of an inch (.005”) wall thickness. Actually molding that part in the real world is another story – unless you’re working with MTD Micro Molding."
