MIM technology, also known as metal injection molding, combines two technologies: injection molding (known from plastic injection molding) and sintering technology.
Due to the implementation of high geometrically complex requirements already in the production process, this technology is referred to as a near-contour manufacturing process.
In this molding process, fine metal powder and thermoplastic polymer resin are mixed in order to obtain a sprayable granulate, the feedstock. The green body obtained in this way is released after cooling in order to detach the plastic. The resulting component, also known as brown body, has a porous surface and is therefore sintered just below the melting temperature.
The advantage of the MIM process is the diverse selection of shaping options and materials. MIM technology is particularly suitable for the production of small and medium-sized metal parts of complex geometry in medium and large series.
While in other processes several components have to be produced separately and assembled to form a component group, one component can be made in one piece in the MIM process. Also bores, threads, undercuts, engravings, and much more can be produced in one production step.
MIMO owns advanced Metal Powder Injection Molding Technology (MIM) technology and surface treatment ability. The electroplating, heat treatment, fine grinding and CNC workshops with perfect facilities enable us to well control the full process of from product design to finished product generation. We hammer at using MIM technology to produce small-sized and three-dimensional metal structure parts with complicated shapes and high performance, and thus to provide powerful support for customers to enhance their competitiveness in the market continuously.
Jiangsu Mimo Metals Co., Ltd, founded in 2006 and located in Ancient Tongli Town, a beautiful town in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangze River, is a high-tech enterprise specialized in the research & development, production, sale and service of Metal Powder Injection Molding Technology (MIM). The Company has powerful technical strength and advanced laboratory & inspection equipment, as well as the world advanced production equipment and professional technical talents, and provides solid technical support for customers. MIMO’s products are widely applied to the industries such as machinery, electronics, automobile, and medical industries, etc. MIMO was listed on the New OTC Market in November 2016. (Securities abbreviation: Mimo metal, stock code: 838327).
● Is there a rule for defining complexity?
There is nothing right or wrong here. As a thumb rule, if a drawing has more than 20 dimensions it may be a good part for MIM. MIMO can also make products with simple structure, but what MIMO wants to emphasize is that the more complex the products, the more prominent the advantages of MIM technology.
● What is the typical annual quantity in MIM?
Generally, production volumes will need to be in excess of 500K pieces annually for a typical product. However, MIMO will consider any annual production volume that will be economical viable for the customer.
● Are MIM parts porous?
Due to the nature of the MIM process, there will be some porosity left in the component after the sintering stage, however, what porosity is left will be very fine and isolated, giving density in the region of 95-98%. Even machining or casting will not give 100% dense parts as there will often be inclusions.
● How long have MIMO been producing MIM parts?
We are highly experienced in the manufacture of MIM components as we have been a MIM supplier since 2006 and our Senior Engineers have been involved in developing metal injection moulding processes for over 30 years.
