ULTRASION, Enric Sirera – Business Development Director Title: “The next generation of Micro-Molding” Summary: “When it comes to moulding of plastic parts, OEMs have had to choose from various technologies that are to a greater or lesser extent based on traditional injection moulding processes. With the trend towards miniaturisation in many industry sectors, some suppliers have attempted to adapt this injection moulding technology in order to better service the demands for small and precise parts. However, as is often the case, adaptations of macro technologies and processes to the moulding of precision and micro plastic parts is not always the best solution. In the area of micro moulding, OEMs now have a new and innovative technology to assess as they strive for a cost-effective, accurate, and efficient manufacturing technology. This new micro moulding process is based on the use of ultrasonics as the agent of polymer melting, designed specifically for OEMs of small and precise plastic parts, and therefore addresses the specific problems associated with this sector. With no need for a screw and barrel, the technology is extremely energy efficient and minimises waste. At the same time, as ultrasonics induces extremely low viscosity in melted materials, product designers can now innovate as they have never been able to before.”
