    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the challenges and solutions to successful molding of micro devices and assemblies. Micro-molding products are said to be needed to create smaller and less invasive micro devices used in medical, electronics and the biopharmaceutical industry. Advances in micro-machining technology are enabling the manufacture of micro molds for micro-assemblies. These micro-assemblies need to be implanted into the body and should reportedly be well tested for form, fit and function.
