MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) is a process that offers the flexibility and productivity of thermoplastic injection moulding and, at the same time, the mechanical performance of metal parts. Highly complex, precise and reliable parts are obtained, with mechanical properties similar to those of any machined, micro-cast, laminated, etc. material.
It combines the advantages of sintering processes with those of thermoplastic injection moulding, going well beyond the usual parameters of both processes (with densities that can reach 99%). Heat treatment can be applied later to add other mechanical characteristics.
