Sintered MIM Metal Fabrication Parts

Metal Injection Molding offers advantages in producing complex three-dimensional shapes for medical device components, which are often not achievable with traditional manufacturing techniques. These advantages include high-quality production of intricate parts with complex shapes and highly engineered alloys, providing medical device suppliers with cost-effective solutions. Metal Injection Molded components have been used in various weight loss surgery tools for gastric bypass and gastric suturing applications. These components are used both in handheld mechanisms for driving parts and in articulated components for changing the orientation of the device's working end.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a new powder metallurgy near net forming technology derived from the plastic injection molding industry, it is known that plastic injection molding technology low price to produce a variety of complex shapes of products, but plastic products are not high strength, in order to improve its performance, you can add metal or ceramic powder in plastic. In order to improve their properties, metal or ceramic powders can be added to plastics to obtain products with higher strength and good wear resistance. In recent years, this idea has evolved to maximise the solid particle content and to completely remove the binder and densify the forming blank during the subsequent sintering process. This new method of powder metallurgy forming is called metal injection moulding.

What's the MIM technology and its advantages and features.

it’s suit to do mass production with complicated shapes;
1, MIM is an advanced metal forming technology that use injection molding machine to manufacturing precision and complex metal parts, which combines the advantage of PM and plastic injection molding.

it can use all kind of metal material(such as stainless steel, iron, ceramic and titanium, etc)

its relative density can achieve more than 98%

its finished products is close to final products, reducing the post-treatment cost, and then save production cost

compared with tranditional CNC and precision casting process, the structure are more even and preformance is much better

compared with PM(Powder Metallurgy), MIM can produce more complex shape and better preformance metal products.

Production cost comparision between MIM and other processes

Cost Effective Design Flexibility/ Material Variety and Integrity

Powder metallurgy can ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the material composition ratio. Suitable for producing products of the same shape and large quantities, low production cost. 

Compare with other process 

Service:

1, 100% inspection before shipment.

2, Satisfied packing, carton, wooden case, pallet,or according to your requirement.

3, Samples are within 35-40 days after the receipt of the deposit. production will be finished about 25-30days after samples confirma

Production Capacity comparision of MIM and other process

Most difficult metals and compounds, pseudo alloys, porous materials can only be manufactured by powder metallurgy
