Abstract
Micro injection molding is presently on its way to become an established manufacturing process in commercialising Microsystem Technologies. Enhanced products from plastics for micro optical or medical applications are entering the market. New developments like the different kinds of injection molding for microstructured components from plastics, metals or ceramics will increase the material range available in microdimensions. This will open up opportunities for increasing economic efficiency, for new fields of applications as well as for innovative products in the future.
