Micro MIM / µ-MIM

Micro Metal Injection Molding/µ-MIM

Micro-Metal Injection Molding (Micro MIM) is an advanced manufacturing process for producing highly intricate metal components at the micro scale. It enables the fabrication of complex geometries with exceptional precision, achieving tolerances as tight as ±5 µm and part weights as low as 0.01 grams.

This technology allows for the efficient production of sophisticated micro components that would be difficult or costly to manufacture using conventional methods. Compared to traditional injection molding and machining processes, Micro MIM delivers superior accuracy, consistency, and scalability for high-volume production.

Key Advantages of Micro MIM:

• Cost-effective compared to micro machining and alternative precision manufacturing processes
• Faster production cycles, especially for high-volume manufacturing
• High precision with tolerances up to ±5 µm, exceeding conventional MIM capabilities
• Excellent surface finish achievable directly from the as-sintered process
• Ideal for mass production with consistent quality and reduced unit cost

Industry Applications:

• Medical devices, including minimally invasive surgical instruments
• 5G and mobile technologies, such as micro gear and precision components
