MIM is becoming a mass-adopted process in the medical device manufacturing world. A more cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional CNC machining and manufacturing methods, MIM can manufacture geometries otherwise impossible to produce while delivering on quality. OEMs can reap long-term savings throughout the production process and meet R&D and NPI’s most demanding timelines.

Metal Injection Molding is a manufacturing technology well suited for high-volume, complex metal components. A MIM part can be more cost effective than a similarly complex machined part. When designing for metal injection molding, there are several characteristics such as materials, mass, size, complexity, and volume to consider that make a good MIM part.

Covid-19 has impacted many industries, but very few companies have felt it quite as sharply as medical device manufacturers. And, as if the pandemic wasn't enough on its own, over the past 12 months we've seen a cargo ship splayed sideways in a canal, a hacked pipeline, and global raw material shortages. Metal injection molding, MIM is a green technology built around specialists with the ability and metallurgical expertise to formulate feedstocks in-house which means it doesn't rely on fragile supply chains, greatly lowering risk for OEMs.
