METAL INJECTION MOLDING

Create Precision Metal Parts with Multiple Benefits

Metal injection molding (MIM) is an effective way to produce complex and precision-shaped parts from a variety of materials.
This process can commonly deliver precision end-products at costs of up to 50% less than 5-axis CNC machining—while achieving higher-resolution finishes at faster speeds than investment casting.
In addition to producing parts with complex shapes, superior strength and excellent surface finish, MIM is also valued for its high-volume manufacturing capabilities. Total cost savings generally reflect a combination of required shape, production volume, part size and material used. Given its many advantages, MIM is an increasingly popular option for key industries including medical, automotive, industrial, defense, electronics and more.

MIM is an innovative yet uniquely cost-effective injection molding method that creates precision-shaped metal parts—making it especially advantageous in situations requiring multiple secondary operations or multi-piece assembly. Because MIM accommodates numerous materials (see table below), product developers can create small custom parts and complex geometries with:

Excellent surface finish
96% – 99% density
Mechanical properties equal to wrought steel
