                                                                       What is MIM?
The full name of MIM is metal injection Molding. It is a molding method, which injects the metal powder and plasticizing mixture of binder into the model.

Firstly, it mixes the selected powder with the adhesive. The mixture is then granulated and injected into the desired model. The mixture has the characteristics of polymer, i.e. viscosity and fluidity. This contributes to the uniformity of modeling, mold filling and powder packaging. After molding, remove the adhesive. Then, the degreased germ is sintered. Some sintered products may undergo densification, heat treatment and mechanical processing. Sintered products not only have the complex shape and high precision of plastic injection molding products, but also have the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of forgings.

This technology is applicable to batch production to manufacture small, accurate and complex 3D shape metal parts that also require special performance.

1. Best applied to small parts (typically less than 100 grams)

2. Offers lower cost solution

3. Improved mechanical properties

MIM mainly materials

 How MIM Works

The MIM process combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and integrity of wronght metals to offer cost effective solutions for highly complex part geometries.

The MIM process is typically explained as four unique processing steps (compounding, molding, debinding and sintering) to produce a final part that may or may not need final finishing operations
