Guide / MIM/Metal Injection Molding

Metal Injection Molding (MIM)

Complex small metal parts with high precision

Process Steps

Feedstock Mixing: Metal powder (60-70% vol) + binder (40-30% vol)
Injection Molding: Same equipment as plastic injection
Debinding: Solvent or thermal removal of binder
Sintering: 1100-1400C to achieve 95-99% density
