When performed by experienced mim parts manufacturers, Metal Injection Moulding offers a combination of features which can translate to cost-saving benefits:

  • DESIGN FREEDOM
    As the parts is formed by injection, there are virtually no design restrictions. Actually, geometry complexity and intricate shapes are required in order to appreciate the cost-effectivness of the MIM process. However, there are some designing rules that you can easily get from our Engineering Dept.
  • REDUCE PRODUCTION COSTS
    Costly machining operations are reduced because of the high geometrical complexity and tight tolerances that can be reached with MIM. MIM is a typical near net shape parts manufacturing process.
  • CLOSE TOLERANCES
    The best tolerance range is ±0,3% of nominal dimension, with a minimum of ± 0,04 mm for dimensions which are less than 3 mm. The reduction in tolerances is not directly proportional to decreasing dimensions and may depend on part shape, material, and process requirements.
  • HIGH QUALITY SURFACE FINISH
    Surface finish of MIM parts is approximately 1 µm, appreciably better than most investment castings.
  • HIGH DENSITY PARTS
    MIM achieves densities up to 99.5%. Unlike conventional press and sinter P/M, MIM components can be plated, coated, heat-treated, just like wrought alloys.
