MIM is suitable for small, complex and intricate shapes components. Eliminating or minimizes machining.
Net-shape manufacture with minimal material waste. Especially in high cost material.
MIM is particularly beneficial for parts that are too small or too detailed to machine out of bar stock. Especially in weight between 0.1 and 100 grams.
Compare to other process, MIM doesn’t cut away existing metal. It uses only the amount of materials that is necessary to create the product. Nothing is wasted.
Dimension accuracy in MIM is ±0.5%.
