Micro injection molding
starlim’s standard production produces components in large series that have a component weight of at least 10 mg. Since the rules of the game are completely different when it comes to silicone components under 10 mg, starlim’s definition of “micro injection molding” begins at this weight.
What is micro injection molding?
In micro injection molding today there are 3 classes of components:
- Injection molded parts with micro-structured areas (CD, “Plastics-Wafer”, …)
- Micro injection molded parts or micro molded parts weighing in the milligram range (micro housing, wristwatch hands, …)
- Micro-precision molded silicone parts with tolerances and minimum dimensions in the µ range (wristwatch gears, …)
Our offer:
- Micro silicone components under 10 mg with high-precision undercuts and depressions
- Single and multi-component injection molding
- Part removal using a handling robot
- In-process optical quality monitoring
- Aligned parts tray
- Automatic parts packaging
- On request, everything can also be done in the clean room
Product Development
Product development
At starlim, we have extensive material and process knowledge about the phenomenon of silicone. With reference to your requirements, we start with the product development together.
Tool making
Tool making
In our in-house tool shop, the molds for the injection molding production of the starlim are designed and built. This makes us flexible and independent.
Rapid Tooling
Rapid Tooling
Receiving the first near-series LSR parts from starlim after just 10 days is possible thanks to rapid tooling from sterner. This concept was developed in order to be able to offer customers the first injection molded parts within a short period of time.
Test tool
Test tool
With the help of a test tool, we can manufacture the first LSR injection molded parts for starlim’s customers under series conditions within a very short time.
Micro injection molding
Micro injection molding
At starlim, components are manufactured in large series as standard, which have a weight of at least 10mg. We refer to silicone components under 10mg as micro injection molding.
Clean room
Clean room
In order to have a controlled environment for the production of the purest silicone parts, starlim has its own clean room. This is certified according to the classes ISO 14644-1 class 7 & 8 as well as GMP class C&D.
Production
Production
In the fully automatic injection molding process, one-component and multi-component parts are made from silicone at starlim. Production takes place at the Austrian locations in Marchtrenk, Weißkirchen and Lambach as well as in our Canadian branch in London / Ontario.
