Metal injection molding (MIM) is a metalworking process in which finely powdered metal is mixed with binder material to create a “feedstock” that is then shaped and solidified using injection molding. The molding process allows high volume, complex parts to be shaped in a single step. After molding, the part undergoes conditioning operations to remove the binder (debinding) and densify the powders. Finished products are small components used in many industries and applications.

BENEFITS

  • Complex small parts
  • High volume production
  • Fewer manufacturing steps than with traditional methods
  • Cost effective
  • Wide variety of metals can be used
  • Market in constant expansion
