The microHANDLING project developed technology capable of producing small plastic components with micrometric details and automatically assembling small-sized products. This innovation enabled the creation of advanced knowledge about the design of molds for micro-components and the development of new handling techniques for these micro-products.
Promoters:
- CENTIMFE Interface Center – Technological Center for the Mold, Special Tools, and Plastic Industry
- EDILÁSIO
- IPN Interface Center – Instituto Pedro Nunes
Challenges Addressed:
The developments carried out as part of this project have made it possible, among other things:
- Optimizing the handling of micro-components.
- Improving the lack of systems for position validation and quality validation at the required scale for micro-components.
Practical Benefits for Society:
The completion of the microHANDLING project delivered several significant benefits, including:
- Advancing knowledge on the design, planning, and manufacturing of molds for micro-components.
- Creating a cell for automated production of micro-products, including robotic and handling systems.
