The Smallest Part in the World

 

Summary:

From late 2010 to 2012, MTD Micro Molding successfully molded an EVA ophthalmic part that weighs in at 0.00000313 grams. It is an ophthalmic implant for glaucoma treatment. This feat required MTD’s Sarix technology to make a precise gate needed for such a tiny part. The gate measured .0018 x .0008 inches.
