MPIF 2025

Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) Design Excellence Award is one of the most prestigious platforms in the Powder Metallurgy (PM) & Metal Injection Molding (MIM) for recognizing achievement in this industry.

“INDO-MIM won 2 Grand Prize and one Distinction award in 2025 year at MPIF Conference

GRAND PRIZE AWARDS

  • A Grand Prize in the Hardware/Appliances Category for MIM components has been awarded to INDO-MIM LIMITED for pocket and keeper module parts for caravan door hinges. The parts are made from a niobium-stabilized austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel. The pocket and keeper modules are
    essential parts, ensuring smooth door operation by securing the hinge pin in place. The components work together to provide reliable long-lasting performance in all conditions. Compared with casting, MIM offers significant cost saving, faster production, and fewer manufacturing steps, reducing waste,
    production time, and costs.
  • In the Medical/Dental Category for MIM components, a Grand Prize has been awarded to INDO-MIM LIMITED for an A-to-Z expander assembly used in dental orthodontic treatment and sleep apnea. The palatal expander widens a narrow palatal arch helping to normalize the shape of the palate and promote nasal cavity expansion. This allows better airflow through the nose. Seven intricate MIM stainless steel parts are assembled to make the expander. MIM processing simplifies the production process and reduces material waste.

AWARDS OF DISTINCTION

In the Automotive—Chassis Category for MIM components, an Award of Distinction has been given to INDO-MIM LIMITED for an ASV top plate used in a vehicle suspension sub-assembly. The part is quite complex, featuring a circular shape with 30 narrow through slots around the edge and five rib-like
structures that connect to a central hole. MIM processing resulted in a 40% cost reduction compared with the machining and wire cutting previously used. MIM is an excellent choice for making 120,000 parts annually while minimizing material waste.
