No longer strange bedfellows, plastic and metal injection molding (MIM) are considered complementary processes that can position molders as one-stop shops for end users. As MIM becomes known and ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...

For years, equipment manufacturers have used a metal injection molding (MIM) process to create finely-shaped products or weights that fit inside confined spaces. The most common metal to undergo the ...

ATW Companies (Warwick, RI) continues to invest in equipment at Parmatech to boost its profile in the metal injection molding business, company officials told PlasticsToday.com in an interview. One ...

Using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) to manufacture complex shaped metal parts is a growing industry. The size and shape of metal powders play a vital role in determining the process efficiency and ...

A Xyloy alloy injection-molded part (left) provides the benefit of metal properties coupled with the ease of processing typically associated with plastic (right). Emphasizing that metal injection ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. On the left is an example of a 3D-printed metal mold printed with conformal cooling channels. At right are ...

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...
