Metal injection molding (MIM) is a technology that combines the strengths of conventional powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding. It is the most cost-effective process in making small parts with complicated shapes.

The process starts with kneading fine metal powders and thermoplastic binders. The kneaded feedstock is then granulated and fed into injection molding machine. Under pressure and heat, the feedstock flows into the mold cavity forming the desired shapes. After being removed from the mold, the molded parts go through a debinding process to remove the binders. The debound parts are then sintered to a density greater than 95%

process :
Metal powder → Kneading → Injection Molding → Debinding and Sintering (machining) → Finished part

We still have other materials such as WC, Fe50Ni....Etc.
