MIM parts mean those metal parts made by metal injection molding process. MIM is just another metalworking method, like forging and casting. Compared to those well-established metalworking methods, MIM usually performs better when producing small size, complex shapes metal components in large quantities. MIM parts make use of wide ranges of materials such as varieties of stainless steel, […]
Read More »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 […]
