Plastic meets microtechnology

November 2011

In the recent Fakuma a small machine grasped my attention. This very compact injection machine is actually dedicated to microtechnology and realize parts with one or two components between 10 and 400 mg. Indeed that’s not an usual way to characterize parts in "classical microtechnology" were we do parts doing chips. Nevertheless this machine can produce true microtechnology parts in many different material (including CIM, PIM and MIM). The formica Plast range comprises two machines, the 1K (…)
