Abstract

Micro injection molding analysis for microneedle fabrication was performed in the present study. The dimensions of width and thickness for in-plane microneedle are $600{\mu}m$, $500{\mu}m$, respectively. A delivery system based on guidelines for traditional injection molding was designed for four-cavities molding system. To investigate the effects of processing conditions in the mirconeedle fabrication, injection molding analysis using commercial code was performed. It was shown that the total injection time has a significant effect on the fabrication of in-plane microneedles.
