Metal Injection Molding | What Is MIM? | Benefits of MIM

www.optimim.com/
MIM is a process that merges two established technologies: plastic injection molding and powdered metallurgy. It offers a manufacturing capability of producing precise, complex parts in large quantities.
MIM offers greater design freedom than many other production processes by freeing designers from the traditional constraints associated with trying to shape stainless steel, nickel iron, copper, titanium, and other metals. Other benefits of MIM, include:
-- MIM makes it possible to integrate and consolidate several components into a single molded piece-reducing the need to work with several manufacturers and decreasing processing and assembly costs.
-- Texture, knurling, threads, lettering, and company logos can all be incorporated into the mold which significantly lowers tooling costs
Our team of engineers offer design solutions for a variety of industries including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and more. When our engineers are involved early in the project, they can help design a tool and part specifically for mass production. We can also aid in combining multiple components to create one, cost-effective, and functional part. All of our customers receive insight and expertise throughout all stages of the project.

Questions, I'm in consideration for using MIM (knowing it sintered)? But I need to know it design constraints. 1 - Porosity? Can it hold water like when designing a cup? 2 - Require Machining afterward for tighter tolerances? Typ. tolerances after baking? and typ. tol after machining? 3 - Finest Surface Finish (for Machined or Natural)? e.g. Can it be less than 0.6-08 Ra? 4 - Baking & shrinkage considerations when tolerating? 5 - non-uniform shrinkage? just like a normal injection mould tool design? 6 - How much material properties compromises? e.g. how much reduction in tensile strength and modulus even density? 7 - Type of metal powder available? SS, Alu, Brass, Ti & etc. 8 - Allowable for surface treatment? 9 - Just like injection allowable to have movable cores? Cam system, unscrewing cores, collapsible cores, small overhang dimples (flexes), up & away and etc. 10 - How is it different from what "Metal Desktop" 3D printer is doing?

what are the differences between injection metal molding and powder casting?

[@annoorkhan4219]

Why metrial is not brocken after debinding?

[@sixmilestall]

Still a little bit of binding material present. Sintering removes most of remaining. And metal spheres are partially welded to one another

Mim is global leader no 1

[@sagarpedraj1872]

Is mold materials is same as plastic injection moulding ?

[@iamSantoshDesai]

Sir, upload video on MIM design, software ,

[@EFLO3D]

Theres no homogenous grain structure in this manufacturing process so the parts produced are inherently weak compared to other manufacturing methods.

[@ranchmanager9126]

Yep, for the most part forging is generally stronger and more durable than MIM.

why would I trust a company that not one employee could look into the camera? HEY I'm over here, who are you talking to, not me the customer.
