Metal Injection Moulding (MIM)
Date
23 March 2021
Metal injection moulding is a natural progression from magnets to polymer injection moulding. Goudsmit UK specialise in the design and manufacture powder injection moulding products, including metal injection moulding (MIM) and ceramic injection moulding (CIM) technologies of complex, high volume, net-shaped components.
MIM involves manipulating metal powders to behave like a plastic by mixing them with polymer binders to form a feedstock. This feedstock is used to injection mould net shaped, precision components. Parts are then thermally processed to remove the binder system and then sintered to a high-density metal component.
