Although many of these design guidelines are similar to those used for plastic injection molding, there are subtle differences in how MIM components a[……]
Category: MIM
MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is an effective way to produce complex and precision-shaped metal parts from a variety of materials – without machining, from low to extremely high volume capabilities, which can be served cost-effectively and with significantly reduced lead times.
How to decrease MIM defects?
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) has historically suffered from part defects, both visible and beneath the surface. Given all that has to go right, from[……]

Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
Metal Injection Molding process – powdered metal is combined with a binding material and then injected into a mold where it’s left to form and curate.[……]
Metal Injection Molding Technology and its Applications
Metal Injection Molding (referred to MIM) technology is the one which bring the modern plastic injection molding technology into the field of powder metallurgy and form a new type of near net shape powder metallurgy technology.[……]
How does MIM compare to other processes?
Die Casting: Metal Injection Molding (MIM) can handle higher-temperature alloys than die casting, since the MIM alloys are never melted – the polymer binder allows the powder to make the desired shape in a die at temperatures similar to plastic injection molding. This also results in very long tool life, with cavity lifetimes of over 250,000 shots without needing substantial rework.[……]
