MIM Technology

Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a cutting-edge technology that combines powder metallurgy and injection moulding to overcome the shape and strength limitations of traditional manufacturing methods. By blending fine metal powder with a binder, MIM breaks through the constraints of traditional powder metallurgy, die casting, press moulding, precision casting, and turned parts, allowing for the production of complex, high-strength components with precise dimensions.

In the MIM process, a malleable mixture of metal powder and binder is obtained through a mixing machine. This mixture is then injected into moulds using an injection moulding machine. After injection, the blanks undergo partial degreasing or vacuum degreasing and are subsequently sintered into rough blanks. MIM parts exhibit advantages such as intricate geometries, small size, material homogeneity, high mechanical strength, and thin walls.

MIM technology enables the production of complex, precise, and high-strength parts in large quantities, while significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with traditional metalworking processes. It is particularly suited for manufacturing small mechanical parts with intricate shapes and high precision, commonly found in various industries such as 3C electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer goods.
