Injection moulding

WITTMANN MicroPower 15 t

Our smallest injection moulding machine supports small-shot and micro-component projects. Its all-electric platform is designed specifically for small and micro parts.

  • 15 t clamping force
  • Minimum shot weight: 0.02 g
  • Manufacturer shot volume: up to 4 cm³
  • Small-shot and micro-component moulding

Shot weight depends on polymer density, tooling and the installed injection unit. Ask us to assess the process for your part.
