Metal Injection Molding: Materials & Properties
Wednesday,1 February 2023
Metal injection molding (MIM) is becoming the standard choice for industries requiring high-volume production of precise, consistent, complex metal pieces with very tight tolerances.
Unlike powder metallurgy, in which pieces are compressed, the metal injection molding process mixes extremely fine powdered metal with binders. This feedstock can then be molded into shapes, very similar to the plastic industry.
