Metal Injection Molding, MIM
What is metal injection molding? MIM is a technology that combines powder metallurgy with injection molding, and has several characteristics that stands out compared with other processes:
- Compared with powder metallurgy: More complex product shapes and higher strength requirements
- Compared with casting forming: More materials to choose from and higher strength requirements
- Compared with precision casting: Thinner more exquisite products
- Compared with the turning process: Metal injection molding offers the advantage of lower cost from mass production
Vision
Pursue innovative technology to fully utilize every ounce of natural resources to create precise works of art.
Advantages of Metal Injection Molding, MIM technology
| Title | Description |
3D complex forming |
Metal injection molding provides design and R&D personnel with greater freedom in design |
Lower assembly cost and better product functions |
Metal injection molding combines multiple assembled parts and designs it into a single part, which greatly lowers assembly and labor costs, increasing product strength and reliability |
Strong product characteristics and high precision |
Metal injection molding parts can achieve a consistency of 95% to 99.5% with tolerance better than +/- 0.3% |
Mass production |
Efficient mass production of MIM parts can be achieved using multi cavity molds |
Fine surface |
Metal injection molding uses powder with particle diameter < 20μm to achieve a surface finish < Ra5 |
Flexible materials selection |
All most all materials that can be made into powder can be used in the MIM process |
