Metal Injection Modeling (MIM)
MIM is an advanced technology that combines the shape-making
capability of Plastic Injection Molding and the metal
flexibility of powder metallurgy. It provides a new alternative
from conventional forming technologies .MIM minimizes
machining and secondary operations through net shape production
while produce small intricate metal components.
By taking advantage of extremely accurate mold, injection,
and design flexibility, MIM would be able to offer cost
efficient for moderate-to-high production volume to manufacture
parts that require more complex Geometries
Characteristics
Complex Shapes
3-dimensional parts can be produced.
Suitable for intricate and complex Geometries.
Good Dimension Control
within +/- 0.4% general tolerance can be achieved
by accurate molding and sintering. Utilizing proper
post machining, products tolerance can be promoted
to m
order.
High Material Density &
Strength
mechanical properties resulted from the Relative Density
> 96%
Good Surface Finishes
The finishing is good enough for most applications
without further polishing and good for surface treatment.
