Application Characteristics of MIM Technology

Using MIM technology to develop metal parts’ geometry, we should pay attention to the flexible design of plastic parts, getting rid of the limitation of traditional metal processing technology. MIM process can deal with complex shape parts, assess multiple parts, integrate a variety of feature / function into  a single component, enhance product assembly performance, simplified mechanical components and reduce the quality, but also can customize various physical properties according to the expected end use.

MIM is the most cost-effective process for manufacturing medium or large quantity small and complex metal parts. One way to evaluate an alternative is to envision how much machining operations are used to produce a product. Generally speaking, regarding a product required 4 or more process, MIM is the preferred process. Note: for each machining feature, processing cost will increase; while for mold shaping, MIM cost increase little, and even do not increase the cost.
