Optimization of Micro Injection Molding of Polymeric Medical Devices Using Software Tools

Micro injection molding is a domain which implies challenges for both producers of moulds and technologists. Due to special conditions required by the process of micro injection molding, chemical, physical and thermal properties of the injected polymeric material are affected, material behaviour is different compared with that during the classical process of injection moulding and so, optimization of parameters of the injection process is needed. This work has shown the process of optimization of micro injection in template given a medical application. A numerical analysis has been performed using the Autodesk Moldflow Insight software given a “surgical micro-stitch” marker device.
