| Factory Advantage | Effectively molding PEEK for micro-fluidic applications is defined by managing its high melt viscosity, which demands extreme injection pressures. We utilize the LK Forza 3000T's exceptionally rigid two-platen locking system, which virtually eliminates platen deflection under the immense force required to fill complex mold cavities. This stability is the key to preventing flash—the molding equivalent of burrs—at the intricate intersections of micro-fluidic channels. At MechanoFab, we engineer the process to produce net-shape dispensing heads that meet critical co-planarity requirements directly from the mold. This single-step strategy obviates the need for secondary CNC operations, thereby eliminating the associated risks of tolerance stack-up and ensuring the part integrity essential for ISO 13485 compliant systems. |
