Metal Injection Moulding is our core business, we are therefore fully equipped to enable us to keep every step of our MIM process in house:

1
Tool Design on our AutoCAD based system.
2
Tool build in our fully equipped, well maintained tool room. The tool comes with a lifetime guarantee so all maintenance and repair is carried out at our cost.
3
Compounding of the feedstock in accordance with the parts custom mix formalised by our in house metallurgist.
4
Moulding of the parts on one of our six Arburg moulding machines
5
Debinding of the parts in one of our five debind ovens.
6
Sintering of the parts in one of our four furnaces.
At each stage a Batch Traveller accompanies the parts to ensure full traceability and all processes are carried out in accordance with the documented Workmanship Standards. This tight control at every stage allows us to control the consistency and dimensional repeatability of the parts we produce enabling us to supply parts of unrivalled quality.

As a supplier we regard ourselves as an extension of our customers business, therefore a close working relationship with our customers and excellent communication links have always been fundamental to our business and our high level of customer satisfaction. We offer support and design advice on new and ongoing projects and we have a well structured NPI route to ensure all new projects move into production in a timely manner and as smoothly as possible.
