About Accumold
Accumold operates from a 15-acre campus in Ankeny, Iowa, just north of Des Moines. The company traces its roots to a rented garage where its founders recognized a growing demand for micro injection molded components that exceeded the capabilities of conventional molding systems. While the exact founding year is not publicly stated, the firm notes four decades of exclusive focus on micro molding and tooling. Accumold provides vertically integrated micro manufacturing, encompassing tooling, injection molding, micro 3D printing, packaging, and metrology under one roof. Its core process is high-precision thermoplastic injection molding for parts with micron-level tolerances, complemented by additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping. The campus houses advanced metrology including a Zygo NewView 8300 optical profiler, OGP multi-sensor systems, and Keyence vision inspection, enabling measurement of features down to tenths of a micron. The company also offers design for micro molding (DfMM), process validation, and Gage R&R studies. Materials range from medical-grade biocompatible resins (ISO 10993) to engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, PVC, PMMA, and nylon equivalents. Accumold differentiates itself by embedding metrology into every production stage, asserting that "if you cannot measure it, you cannot make it." Its vertically integrated model ensures that tooling, molding, and inspection are co-located, allowing rapid iteration and consistent quality at micro scale. The firm emphasizes continuous investment in measurement technology and automation to maintain precision as parts shrink further.
