MIM TECHNOLOGY
MIM enables the production of complex, high-strength metal components at scale with tighter tolerances, reduced waste, and lower cost per unit compared to traditional machining.
OEMs, engineers, and procurement teams across more than six industries worldwide trust us.
Metal Injection Molding bridges the gap between design intent and manufacturing feasibility, enabling the production of complex metal parts that are both technically advanced and cost-effective.
Undercuts, internal threads, and complex 3D geometries can be produced in a single step without secondary operations.
MIM tooling is a one-time investment. At high production volumes (10,000+ units/year), per-unit costs decrease significantly compared to CNC machining or die casting.
Sintered MIM parts achieve 95–99% of theoretical density, delivering strength and hardness comparable to wrought metal.
Compatible with stainless steel, titanium, copper, and specialty alloys.
Tolerances as tight as ±0.3% with smooth surface finishes.
Scale from thousands to millions of identical parts without requiring tooling changes.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a net-shape metalworking process that combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and durability of metal. Fine metal powders are mixed with a thermoplastic binder, injected into molds, and sintered to produce strong, dense components.
A closer look at the technical and commercial benefits that make MIM ideal for precision manufacturing.
MIM enables shapes that are difficult or impossible to achieve with CNC machining or casting, including undercuts, blind holes, thin walls (as thin as 0.3 mm), and internal or external threads. Complex multi-feature components can be produced in a single step, eliminating assembly and secondary operations.
Key stat: MIM can consolidate 3 to 5 components into a single part, reducing assembly cost and complexity by up to 40%.
Traditional machining can waste 60–80% of raw material, especially when working with high-value alloys such as titanium or stainless steel. MIM produces near-net-shape parts using only the required material. Excess feedstock can be recycled within the process.
Result: Material utilization rates exceed 95%, significantly reducing raw material costs.
During sintering, metal particles fuse at high temperatures, achieving 95–99% of theoretical density. This results in components with high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and hardness that meet or exceed MPIF Standard 35 requirements.
Each batch is certified to ASTM and MPIF standards with full traceability of chemical composition, density, and mechanical properties.
While MIM tooling requires upfront investment, cost benefits typically begin at production volumes of 3,000–5,000 units. Multi-cavity tooling increases efficiency, enabling high-volume production with minimal incremental cost.
ROI Benchmark: Companies transitioning from CNC machining to MIM typically achieve a 30–60% reduction in per-part cost at volumes above 25,000 units per year. These savings are achieved without compromising dimensional accuracy, material performance, or product quality.
