Design Considerations for Metal Injection Molding

Metal injection molding (MIM) produces relatively small, complex, net or near-net parts which can include features such as holes, radii, logos, and text. Moreover, MIM can make such parts for half the cost of CNC machining or investment casting. Better yet, MIM allows the consolidation of multiple components into a single design, eliminating the need […]

Injection Molding Simplifies Complex Metal Parts

Metal injection molding allows designers to combine numerous complex features into single parts, reducing the need for assembly, secondary machining, or surface finishing operations. Picture trying to assemble a handful of tiny metal parts into an assembly that fits inside a golf ball, or keeping 0.003 in./in. tolerances while machining tiny spiral bevel gears. Imagine […]
