Elite Mold Tech Micro Molding: Precision in the Palm of Your Hand

In a world where devices are getting smaller, the parts inside them must follow suit—without losing accuracy, performance, or structural integrity. That’s where Micro Molding comes in. At Elite Mold Tech, we specialize in manufacturing ultra-small, highly precise plastic components for industries that demand perfection on the smallest scale.

Micro molding is more than just miniaturization—it’s a fusion of advanced tooling, tight tolerances, and specialized materials that enable breakthrough innovations in fields like medical, electronics, defense, and beyond.

What Is Micro Molding?

Micro molding is an advanced form of injection molding that produces plastic parts with microscopic features—typically weighing less than a gram or even a fraction of a gram. These components often contain intricate geometries, ultra-thin walls, and tolerances in the microns.

This process requires high-precision mold fabrication, specialized micro injection machines, and detailed process control to ensure flawless results.

At Elite Mold Tech, we manufacture parts as small as 0.001 grams with feature tolerances as tight as ±5 microns—empowering you to achieve what traditional molding simply cannot.

Where Micro Molding Makes the Difference

Micro molded parts are found in everything from surgical tools to smartphone sensors. Their small size doesn’t reduce their impact—in fact, it enhances it. They enable devices to shrink, become smarter, and perform better.

Applications include:

  • Medical Devices – Microfluidic components, drug delivery systems, implantable parts
  • Electronics – Micro connectors, switches, lenses, casings
  • Automotive – Sensor housings, micro-gears, precision clips
  • Telecom – Fiber-optic sleeves, mini components
  • Defense & Aerospace – Lightweight mission-critical parts

When size, function, and consistency matter at once, micro molding is the clear solution.
