Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology offers significant advantages in the manufacturing of medical device components, especially for small, precise, and structurally complex metal parts produced in high volumes. By mixing ultra-fine metal powders with binders and forming them via injection molding, then undergoing debinding and sintering, MIM can produce highly dense parts (≥96% of theoretical density) with excellent strength and tight dimensional tolerances. It provides a highly efficient solution that traditional processes such as CNC machining, stamping, or die casting often cannot match. MIM is particularly suitable for producing the following types of medical components: endoscopic structural parts, dental tools, surgical clamps, joint components, injector gun parts, orthopedic locking screws, and micro connector shafts. Because MIM can form complex features such as internal cavities, threads, and barbs in a single molding step, it significantly reduces part count and assembly processes, thereby improving the reliability and consistency of medical devices.
