Metal Injection Molding-Lock Application

Metal injection molding (MIM) is a versatile technology that combines the plastic injection molding and powder metallurgy. MIM technology provides highly engineered and efficient solutions for complex metal parts.

INDO-MIM, a leading provider of custom metal injection molding components and services, offers advantages for producing complex three-dimensional shapes in lock parts that would be difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. These advantages include high-quality manufacturing of intricately shaped small parts and advanced metal alloys, increasing the product offering at an affordable price for lock manufacturers.

Metal injection molding components have been used in various mechanical locks and smart locks. MIM eliminates the need for secondary operations and offers significant savings compared to the machined version of the component. Locks play an important role in security, and as the population has grown, innovations in locks have led to more complex components that require technology to produce these components at an affordable price and with the best quality. Currently, the demand for small, light, strong and complex shaped components in the MIM technology lock industry is increasing because its near-lattice form factor can achieve readiness with a shorter lead time.

INDO-MIM has been manufacturing components for the lock industry for over 25 years and has been able to meet the demands of our customers all over the world. We can also be your “one-stop-solution” with our additional services such as plating, Welding, laser marking and assembly. Leveraging the efficiency of INDO-MIM’s MIM technology, locks can now ultimately increase the number of end users they serve by expanding their product portfolio. INDO-MIM is a valuable partner in strengthening home security by providing affordable services but high quality stainless steel MIM parts for locks..
