Metal injection molding

MIM TECHNOLOGY METAL INJECTION MOULDING THE BENEFITS OF TWO WORLDS Series components made of metal with complex shapes are usually very time-consuming and expensive to put into production -- but luckily there is now a superior alternative for these kinds of demanding workpieces in the form of MIM technology from Zimmer Group! The MIM process allows us to manufacture metal parts of almost any shape using an injection molding process, as easily as though it were plastic! This process lets us elegantly combine the geometrical freedom of plastic injection molding with the outstanding rigidity and wear characteristics of metals. The result is a thoroughly impressive technology for manufacturing metallic series production components with complex shapes -- and at very attractive prices, too! AS A RESULT, MIM TECHNOLOGY OFFERS YOU A HOST OF APPEALING ADVANTAGES: Cost-effective series production of metallic workpieces Entirely new level of freedom for designing parts Combines the advantages of injection molding technology with the outstanding strength and wear characteristics of metals Series production of smaller components with weights from 0.3 g to 150 g Complex components with a wall thickness down to 0.2 mm Ability to implement small and large holes, inner and outer threading, cross holes, undercuts and gear teeth Full utilization of the strength properties of the material being used Mechanical strength of workpieces equal to conventional manufacturing processes Surface treatment using frictional grinding, mirror polishing, sandblasting, passivation, electropolishing or etching
