Market Definition
Metal injection moulding (MIM) is a technique for producing metal products using injection technology. Metal injection moulding (MIM) combines the design versatility of injection moulding with the strength and integrity of wrought metals to offer cost-effective solutions for highly complex part geometries. The process included several steps, including feedstock preparation, injection moulding, binder removal, and sintering, which also included several steps. Several materials are used in powder form with binders to provide high strength to the metal products and increase their usage in handling heavy loads in the industry.
