Ophthalmic and dental devices
Small, visually critical parts where a moulding mark is a defect rather than a cosmetic detail.
In ophthalmic and dental work the part is often inspected by eye at close range, sometimes by the patient. Gate location and polish are therefore design decisions taken with the tool, not finishing operations added at the end.
Typical Applications
- Gate position and polish decided with the tool
- Clean room moulding and assembly
