 Metal Injection Molding (MIM) AFT Metal Injection Molding: Innovative Process Powered by Next-Generation Technology  AFT’s proprietary MIM technology represents the future of complex component manufacturing. It combines the shape-making capabilities of plastic injection molding with the material flexibility of powder metallurgy. Automated systems work to produce the highest levels of quality.Strength in Detail: Through our unique processes, we can form multiple components into a single, complex geometry. The technology permits co-molding and bonding of dissimilar materials. Therefore we can both maintain and improve the metallurgical properties of conventional metal forming manufacturing.  Built-in Adaptability: AFT’s technology works to ensure we deliver exactly what you need. The AFT engineering team develops each MIM program based on your requirements. Varied Applications: AFT’s progressive MIM technology and custom material development is ideal for aerospace components, medical and surgical instruments, automotive parts, electronics, computer peripherals, power tools, firearms and communications equipment. AFT Magnesium Injection Molding: Thixomolding AFT Magnesium Injection Molding: The Choice for Complex, Lightweight Components  Magnesium injection molding, or Thixomolding®, merges the design and processing flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength produced by high-pressure diecasting. AFT’s Thixomolding® process produces complex shape components with high dimensional precision, fine detail and light overall weight.Enhanced Material Properties: The semi-solid processing technology provides a refined, high-density microstucture for improved material properties. Superior Process Capability: Compared to conventional die casting, Thixomolding® technology allows us to inject magnesium alloys at lower temperatures. This equates to greater dimension precision, longer die life, fine surface detail and a more repeatable process. Varied Applications: Thixomolded magnesium has become the process and material of choice for many advanced automotive, electronics, power tool and consumer product applications. |
