MIM Advantages
Index > MIM Advantages
MIM Advantages :
"The metal injection molding (MIM) process is well suited for the production of relatively small complex shaped metal components with high strength requirements. The metal injection molding (MIM) process can yield significant cost savings over the following competing industries: CNC machining, precision machining, investment casting, precision casting, screw machine, traditional powdered metal, and press and sinter components"
MIM products contain no Cd, no Pb, no Hg, and no Cr+6, the safety of products meets the requirement of RoHS.
