Micro Packaging
and Assembly
Similar to metrology, handling and assembling or packaging micro-sized medical devices is far more challenging, and the solutions are different than those employed in making macro-sized parts.
MTD is FDA registered and all assembly and packaging is performed in an ISO Class 8 Clean Room environment. Molding machines are equipped with a custom-made End of Arm Tool (EOAT) specially created for each part we produce, to allow for controlled and precise in-line handling, assembly, and packaging. There is not a single part at MTD that simply is ejected into a bin.
In-line Automation
In-line automation that takes place in the micromolding cell includes:
- edge gate trimming
- visual inspection
- model to part comparison
- part coating systems
High-Speed Automated Packaging
Depending on volume, high-speed automated packaging for micro medical components can be implemented as well, including in-line packaging options like:
- gel packs
- tape and reel
- trays
- autobagging
Custom Assembly & Packaging
In-house medical device assembly and packaging solutions include:
- precision gluing
- ultrasonic welding
- plastic part tip forming
- mechanical and functional testing capabilities
- custom packaging and labeling
Every micro-molded component we produce has a purpose-built handling path.
With custom end-of-arm tooling, we can remove the part from the mold and maintain precise orientation through inspection, packaging, and downstream automation without compromising accuracy.
How does MTD handle ultra-small parts without damaging them after molding?
MTD designs a custom end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) solution for every micro molded component, allowing parts to be removed, oriented, inspected, and packaged in a controlled, repeatable manner without being bulk handled or dropped into bins.
What's built into the molding cell versus handled as a separate packaging operation?
MTD integrates many secondary operations directly into the molding cell, including inline inspection, gate trimming, robotic handling, and automated packaging—reducing manual handling and improving process consistency.
What packaging formats does MTD offer for high-volume production?
MTD supports high-speed automated packaging formats including tape-and-reel, trays, gel packs, and autobagging, with custom solutions designed around customer automation and assembly requirements.
Can MTD perform assembly operations (gluing, welding, tip forming) as well as molding?
Yes. MTD provides in-house micro assembly capabilities including precision gluing, ultrasonic welding, tip forming, mechanical assembly, and functional testing as part of a fully integrated manufacturing approach
Is assembly and packaging performed inside the cleanroom, or transferred to a non-clean area first?
Molding, assembly, inspection, handling, and packaging are all performed within MTD’s ISO Class 8 cleanroom environment to maintain product integrity and reduce contamination risk throughout the manufacturing process.
Can MTD provide custom labeling or tray layouts that match our downstream process?
Yes. MTD can develop custom packaging, labeling, and tray configurations tailored to each customer’s downstream automation, inspection, and manufacturing workflow requirements.
