What Metal Injection Moulding is
Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a manufacturing process that involves manipulating metal or ceramic powders to behave like a plastic by mixing them with polymer binders to form a feedstock. This feedstock is then used to injection mould net shaped, precision components.
Intricate and complex geometries that in the past have been either very difficult or very costly to produce through traditional manufacturing methods can be readily achieved with MIM and at significantly reduced prices and lead-times. Also, detailed features such as serrations, internal and external threads, text and graphical symbols can be moulded into the part, eliminating the need for expensive secondary operations.
MIM enhances product quality, reduces lead times and gives rise to significant cost savings of anything up to 50%.
