metal injection molding (mim)

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a process that blends fine metal powders with a binder, which is then injected into a mold before being sintered to produce accurate, solid metal parts; it blends the versatility of plastic injection with the strength of metals.

Key Features:

  • Complex Geometries: It affords the ability to manufacture small, complex, and detail-rich components, a feat that is very difficult to achieve using traditional means.
  • High Tolerance: Designed for manufacturing components with tight tolerances and smooth finishes, it largely eliminates the requirement for additional machining. 
  • Material Efficient: It reduces material waste through precise shaping of metal powders.

MIM is a core process of modern production where mass production of very small, high-quality, complex, durable metal parts has become a requirement for the automotive, medical, aerospace, and electronics industries. MIM, by combining precision, efficiencies, and mechanical strength, offers a feasible answer for high-performance components that meet the constant changes in technology demands of our society.
