OEM design projects are increasingly requiring tighter tolerances, smaller or lighter components and high reliability/quality.  These are challenges that must be addressed quickly by engineers in order to get the final products to market on time, even if the solution is custom in nature.

The demand for precision plastic components has grown rapidly over the past several years, but this growth has created some confusion about what Micromolding really is, how it can be used and what pitfalls need to be avoided.  Jim and Greg from Accumold will present a technical overview on Thursday, October 8th at 2pm and answer your questions.

The content will cover:

  • What is Micromolding?
  • Design Considerations
  • Materials
  • Prototyping and Design for Manufacturability
  • Production Capabilities
  • Quality Control Considerations
  • Live Q&A
