A big challenge for even smaller parts…
News from April 23rd, 2010
Polydec continues to push the limits in the field of the micro-screw-machining and has produced a part with a length of 0,44 mm and a diameter of 0,074 mm (for reference, a thickness of a hair is also 0,07 mm).
The difficulty with this kind of production is not just the tooling, but also the handling of the parts. Products with such a size require meticulous manipulation during all stages of manufacturing, in particular polishing and tempering.
An almost "invisible" part for the naked eye but it exists!
