About Minnesota Micro Molding, Machining & Manufacturing
Minnesota Micro Molding, Machining & Manufacturing (operating as M5 Micro) was founded in 2016 in Hutchinson, Minnesota. The company began as a specialist in micro-scale molding and machining, combining both capabilities under one roof. The shop runs micro injection molding with shot sizes from 0.0001 g to 0.6 g, processing thermoplastics and metal injection molding (MIM) materials, including overmolding, insert molding, and dual-shot (2K) operations. It also operates 5-axis micro machining on KERN Micro Vario centers with robotic pallet loading for 24/7 lights-out production, wire EDM (Mitsubishi MV1200S), small-hole EDM, and in-house metrology (Mitutoyo CMM, vision system, Starrett optical comparator). Gage-quality molds and tooling are built internally on the same 5-axis machines. The facility supports prototype through high-volume cell production. Primary markets include medical devices (surgical tools, catheters, implant components, diagnostic cartridges, pacemaker-class parts), fiber-optic ferrules for AI compute and satellite interconnects, photonics packaging, microfluidics, drug delivery, aerospace & defense, and electronics. Customers are typically medical device OEMs and photonics manufacturers requiring tight tolerances, material traceability, and PPAP-ready documentation. The company emphasizes its integrated "full-stack" cell: robotic part extraction, 100% in-line vision inspection every cycle, automated tray loading with per-slot traceability, and in-house heat treating and surface grinding to avoid outsourcing delays. This setup aims to deliver sub-micron repeatability and consistent unattended runs.
