Abstract

This paper reports on design, fabrication and characterization of a micro-filter for hearing aid, dialysis media and inhaler. The microfilter is fabricated by micro injection moulding process in polymeric material (Polyoxymethilene - POM) using a steel mould manufactured by micro electrical discharge machining process. A novel filter configuration is proposed and, in the design step, the characteristics of the filter are investigated by numerical simulation in order to define a suitable geometry for micro-injection moulding. Then, different process configuration of parameters (melt and mould temperature, injection velocity, holding time and pressure, cooling time, pressure limit) are tested in order to obtain the complete part filling. Finally the component is dimensionally characterized and the process parameters optimized to obtain the maximum filtration capacity.
