According to Institute of Industrial Technology and Automation (ITIA-CNR), Micro-components are often smaller than a single grain of granulate. Micro injection molded plastic components are of shot weights of 1 to 0.1 g with tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns. This molding process allows manufacturers to produce complicated small geometries with maximum possible accuracy and precision.
