Key Categories of Mold Manufacturing
Single-cavity or multi-cavity molds
Single-cavity molds are suitable for small-batch production or product process testing, while multi-cavity molds are ideal for large-scale production. The image shows the mold for PCR tubes, which is designed for scale-up manufacturing.
Precision molds
Precision molds are used for channel dimensions smaller than 100 µm, with strict requirements for surface roughness of channels or chambers. Such molds are generally produced using high-precision CNC machines to process metal molds. For finer features below 5 µm, HiComp employs its proprietary MEMS mold fabrication technology.
