Michael Barbella: What are the latest trends in micro molding technology and services?

Dave Moyak: Part miniaturization is a constant trend in nearly every market segment in industry. In a drive to squeeze as much technology into an evershrinking footprint, OEMs are looking to suppliers that can help in every phase of the product life cycle. The margin for error is less than razor thin. As an engineerin gdriven company, we intentionally simplify our solutions to everyday challenges. We accomplish this by applying a fundamentally sound engineering approach we call “The Matrix Way.”

Barbella: What are customers demanding or expecting of their micro molded products and have these demands/expectations changed in recent years?

Dave Moyak: Smaller, faster, lighter, better. With traditional plastic parts, the end point is a known destination—using widely accepted manufacturing practices. With micromolded parts, it’s more of a journey. What we know and can accomplish today is a significant percentage better than what we could do five years ago and we’ll say the same thing five years from now. The end point keeps moving because of the advancements in design, tooling, machinery and knowledge. More of the complete interview here
