Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
What is Metal Injection MoldingMetal Injection Molding (MIM) combines the shape and design flexibility of thermoplastic injection molding with the mechanical properties of high performance powder metals, which makes metal injection molding a cost-effective solution for a variety of industries.
Designing with Metal Injection MoldingProducing properly engineered and economical parts with metal injection molding requires a thorough understanding of the MIM's unique design guidelines. Here at SSI-Sintered Specialties, we are able to draw upon over 70 years of cumulative metallurgical experience, as well as, over 450 years in powdered metal engineering and press experience to help our customers with material and processing solutions. The greatest benefit of metal injection molding is usually seen during the initial design stages, but even at later stages of a project, significant cost reductions can be realized.
