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 to 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 Watch Parts 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.
