Advantages of Metal Injection Molding(MIM)

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an established and proven manufacturing technique for producing small, complex, tight-tolerance and high-performance metal parts. MIM is a cost-effective alternative to traditional metal forming techniques such as machining, investment casting, and powder metallurgy.

MIM Micro

“Metal Injection Molding” excels at applications that require shape complexity and material properties (high strength, magnetic permeability and corrosion resistance) that cannot be fulfilled by plastic and light metal alloys. It offers tremendous single-step part consolidation potential that makes it a competitive alternative to stamped/machined parts assemblies. Many design and economic limitations of traditional metalworking technologies can be readily overcome by MIM.

Today, MIM is serving critical performance applications in a wide range of industries and products including, automotive, commercial aerospace, and cellular telephones.
