Stack Plastics is a leader in the highly specialized field of micro molding. Micro molding is the process of manufacturing very small parts and components from injection molded plastic. It is extremely useful in the medical industry, where micro molded parts are used in surgical devices and other applications. Micro molding is also very popular in electronics and other industries, where trends continue toward "smaller is better" manufacturing.

Micro molding is one of the more difficult injection molding processes. By nature, the polymers Stack Plastics uses have "large" molecules. Working with these molecules in the minute dimensions required in micro molding can be exceptionally tricky, as they tend not to behave as they normally do in larger applications. Stack Plastics’ expertise in this field and our extensive materials knowledge allow us to push the envelope of polymer science with our micro molding services. We can work with you to find the ideal plastic material for the needs of your micro molding project.

The molding of very small parts requires very small molds and tools. Because some mold pins, tool parts, etc., are just a few thousandths of an inch in diameter, even the stainless steel and other metals we use in our molds becomes very fragile. Stack Plastics works with special sources for the manufacture of our micro molding molds and tools, to ensure the highest quality and durability when creating your micro molded parts.

Micro molding is so unique and specialized a process, Stack Plastics needs to engineer new manufacturing techniques for almost every micro molding project. Our many years of experience, our state-of-the-art injection molding equipment, and our knowledgeable staff make it possible for us to meet the needs of any micro molding project.
