Overview of MIM Technology
Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is highlighted as an innovative technology for producing complex metallic series parts. It combines injection moulding and sintering, allowing for the creation of components with complex geometries and tight tolerances without the need for post-processing.
Material Variety
MIM technology supports a variety of materials including stainless steel, low alloy steel, tool steel, titanium and its alloys, cemented carbides, and special alloys.
Advantages of MIM
  • Excellent surface quality with Ra < 3 μm.
  • Geometrical freedom for complex designs.
  • Integration of inner and outer threads.
  • Cost advantages compared to conventional machining, with significant savings on materials like low alloy and stainless steel.
Cost Comparison
The document provides a cost comparison between conventional machining and MIM, showing that MIM offers cost advantages, with approximate costs of 9.50 Euros for MIM versus 19 Euros for conventional machining.
