Conventional product classification for micro-injection molding (µIM).

µIM Product	Average Part Size	Part Mass	Dimensional Tolerance Range	Equipment
Single Microparts	<10 mm	0.0001–0.1 g	10 µm	µIM metering and dosing system
Parts featuring micro- or nanostructures	>10 mm	> 0.1 g	0.01–1 µm (on features)	Conventional IM injection system
Micro precision IM Parts	>10 mm	> 0.1 g	10–100 µm	µIM and IM systems
