Why is Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Ideal for Medical Applications? Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a specialized powder metallurgy process, derived from ceramic powder injection molding. Due to their similarities, both processes are often grouped under Powder Injection Molding (PIM). The typical MIM process consists of four key stages: Mixing During mixing, finely powdered metal is combined with a binder in a mixer. The binder ensures uniform distribution of the metal particles, forming a consistent feedstock. Injection Molding The prepared feedstock is injected into a mold under high pressure to form the desired shape. For medical components, the injected metal part usually weighs under 100 grams, allowing precision and efficiency in production. […]
