THE MIM PROCESS
From metal powder to precision parts.
Molding, debinding and sintering are performed in-house.
01General process stage
Powder & binder mixing
Blend metal powder and binder
02General process stage
Compounding & granulating
Prepare injection-ready feedstock
03In-house core process
Injection molding
Fill the mold to form a green part
04In-house core process
Debinding
Remove primary binder; retain support
05In-house core process
Sintering
Bond particles, densify and shrink
06Project-dependent
Finishing & inspection
Finish, machine and inspect as specified
Follow steps 01–06. Feedstock preparation is a general illustration. Specialist partners make tooling; secondary operations depend on the project. Animation does not represent actual cycle times or shrinkage ratios.

MANUFACTURING QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions, from design to manufacturing.
Discuss your drawing with us ↗01What dimensional tolerances can be achieved?
Dimensional tolerances depend on part geometry, size and material. For example, a 4 mm diameter can be evaluated against a target tolerance of ±0.3 mm. Mark critical dimensions on your drawing so we can confirm the forming, finishing and inspection plan.
02How long does mold manufacturing take?
Allow approximately 1–1.5 months for tooling development during project planning. The schedule depends on part geometry, mold design and trial adjustments. We confirm milestones and delivery dates once drawings and technical requirements are agreed.
03What surface roughness can be achieved?
Surface-roughness targets in the Ra 0.2–1.6 μm range can be evaluated. The achievable finish depends on the metal, powder particle-size distribution and surface treatment. We assess the processing approach against your appearance and functional requirements.
04How thin can a MIM part be designed?
For stainless-steel parts smaller than 5 mm, a 0.1 mm wall can be evaluated; a 0.3 mm wall can be considered for some conventional MIM designs. Reliable thin-wall production must be assessed against the overall geometry, material and assembly requirements.
Final specifications and lead times are confirmed following drawing review and project assessment.
