A new conversion process combined with powder metallurgy and injection molding technique has been developed for application in the fabrication of air gripper finger cylinder components. CNC machining process served as a highly effective technique to fabricate pneumatic components with complex sh[……]
Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is one of the oldest metal working techniques, and refers to the process in which molten metal is poured into a mold formed by using a wax pattern, which is then melted away. Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a more recent metal working process, and[……]
MIM has become a synonym for the iPhone SIM card tray and camera lens protector ring in the 3C industry. In addition to these, however, precision parts in e-cigarettes are also manufactured using Metal Injection Molding. The metalworking process on the market is probably not as fast as the MIM proce[……]
Utilizing Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process, FineMIM has developed and produced the world’s thinnest integrally-molded metal fan blades at only 0.15mm for the laptops. This design allows for greater airflow, additional blades and a more aerodynamic airstream.
To improving the ability of l[……]
