In response to the increasing product miniaturization and the corresponding needs for micro/miniature parts, the ability to manufacture highly complex, 3-dimensional micro-parts in high volume at much cheaper cost by micro injection molding technique has been a subject of investigation and research over the last decade. Recognizing this trend and supported by the ITF, the ISE department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has in early 2004 set up a Microsystems Technology Centre (MSTC) to investigate and develop advanced micro molding technologies of benefits to the local industry. MSTC is a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre of the ISE Department that offers a wide range of services and end-to-end solutions to the local manufacturing industry.
The Micro Molding Interest Group was created by the MSTC to:
attract interests on micro molding technologies; set up a member network and a forum for exchange of ideas and knowledge; undertake pre-competitive R&D projects of benefits to the local industry.
Areas of interests include:
Micro injection molding machine Micro mold design Micromachining Polymeric material Micro inspection and measurement Micro part handling and assembling
Target Members:
Micro components or products manufacturers Linkage industries Optical, electronic, telecommunication and biomedical industries
Member's Benefits:
Networking between business counterparts Access to news and publications Share of knowledge through seminars or workshops held Access to Centre's facilities (at special discount) Access to training and consultation services Collaborations on R&D projects to the needs of industry
ENTER TO FORUM (Coming Soon)
Activities organized will be funded partly by the ITF and partly by the member's subscription.
