Micro-optics Molding

• Company: Accumold
• Type: Lenses
• Diameter / Dimension: 30mm - 0.001mm
• Applications: Biomedical/Medical, Communications, Military

Micro-optics molding is a precision injection mold process that produces optical components on a smaller scale than is attainable than with traditional molding techniques. Due to the overall size and detail, part tolerances are measured in microns. Parts of this nature take the form of connectors and sensors, and are used in illumination, optics, and imaging. Micro-optics molded components are often used in very small medical, data-com and wearable devices.

Micro-Optics Molding is as much an art form as it is an engineering feat. Taming thermoplastic and resin behavior with micron tolerances demands more than just a scientific understanding of micro mold materials, it requires the raw experience decades of engineering trial and error provides.

We are world leaders in thermoplastic micro injection molded components, glass, and molded optics. We routinely complete complex overmolding of optics into housings and overmolding for laser systems or other high-powered outputs.
