THE INNOVATIVE PROCESS FOR PRECISION COMPONENTS.
In the MIM process are the technique and presses of injection molding of plastic parts used. It describes the production of complex metal parts by means of injection molding of a mixture of metal powder and thermoplastic polymer resin. The resulting, sprayable granules are called feedstock. After casting, the binder is removed, and the part is sintered at high temperatures. Through this process, we have a diverse selection of forming capabilities and materials. It is particularly suitable in the production of metal parts of complex geometry in medium and large series.

PROCEDURES IN COMPARISON
In comparison to other processes, such as press sintering or investment casting, the MIM process scores particularly through high precision and the ability to implement complex shapes or special material requirements. Metal powder injection molding is used where complex geometries and low error rates are desired. Small, multi-layered precision parts, which can only be manufactured at high cost using other methods, are mass-produced with the MIM process. Particularly difficult-to-process materials, such as titanium or stainless steel, can be used productively, since there is no need for assembly and joining steps. Even threads, holes, logos or other inscriptions can be incorporated exactly into the component. However, since the MIM process is tool-bound, the cost of the tool must be amortized over the quantities.
ORIGIN
The process has been known for almost a century: The first ceramic casings for spark plugs were produced through this method as early as 1920. However, it did not really get into the industry until 1980 – initially with MIM were produced small, high-precision metallic components for industrial goods and handguns. In the meantime, metal powder injection molding has become indispensable for the industry. It has established itself as a highly economical production method for large-series products, which is used particularly with high complexity.
