Read More »Injection molding is one of the most productive techniques for shaping materials. Until recently, injection molding was restricted to thermoplastic polymers (polymers that melt on heating). However, metals have property advantages over polymers. They are stronger, stiffer, are electrically and thermally conductive, can be magnetic, and are more wear and heat resistant. The concept of […]
Read More »Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology has grown in sophistication to become a leading manufacturing method for many medical-device OEMs since the commercialization of Metal Injection Molding in the mid-1970s. What is the attraction? Basically, MIM can produce complex parts more quickly and at a lower cost than conventional techniques such as machining and investment casting. The technology […]
