METAL INJECTION MOLDING

AUTOMOTIVE • MEDICAL • FIREARMS CONSUMER • AEROSPACE

• Complete material listings and samples presented
• Shape making capability of plastic injection molding
• Material flexibility of powder metallurgy
• Highly dense, complex shapes
• 0.1 grams to over 150 grams
• Complex geometries
• High volume capability

 

Learn how to:

• Combine two materials in one component
• Design with internal threads that require no machining
• Combine several components and assemblies into one part, reducing boms, assembly time and cost

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) has proven to be a viable alternative to other forms of manufacturing. Combining metal powder with a binding system, the material is injection molded. The binder is then removed from the part and sintered at high temperatures. If you are currently using stampings, investment castings, PM, screw machine components or even machined parts, MIM may improve your quality and reduce your costs! MIM materials include Stainless Steels, Nickel Iron, Copper, Titanium and other high strength alloys.
