Ceramic Injection Molding 

Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) allows for the manufacturing of complex ceramic parts with superior performance. At INDO-MIM, CIM is employed within a highly controlled Six Sigma controlled environment, delivering cost-effective, high-quality solutions for various industries. This process enables the production of intricate geometries that replace traditional metal and plastic components, improving product durability, performance, and efficiency.

The inherent advantages of the CIM process place a focus on quality and precision, working closely with customer specifications and a closely monitored process that meets this requirement. The complex designing capabilities of CIM Technology offers economies of scale and cuts manufacturing time by eliminating elaborate machining and finishing.

How Ceramic Injection Molding works

  • Fine Ceramic powder is mixed with a polymer binder. This mixture is granulated to form “feedstock”
  • Feedstock is heated to form viscous slurry and injection molded to form “green” part
  • Part of the binders are removed through solvent de-binding to get “brown” part
  • The brown part is densified through sintering to get ‘finished’ part
