Advantages of powder injection molding

Great flexibility in design and shape/geometry

High imaging accuracy – even the smallest contours can be rendered

Material properties like those of compact material – By using the finest metal/ceramic powder with an average grain size of 5 to 20 µ, density values of almost 100% can be achieved in the end product

Wide range of materials (various stainless steels, titanium, high-performance ceramics, special steels and alloys, standard materials). Processing of difficult-to-machine high-performance materials is possible

Wirtschaftliche Fertigung

Free shaping – complex geometries are possible: undercuts, cross holes, internal and external threads, gear teeth, and surface structures as well as lettering and logos etc. can be integrated into the component without difficulty

Material combinations are possible (connections between ceramics and metals as well!

Components with thin walls can also be realized

Narrow dimensional tolerances can be achieved (components can be manufactured in series with tolerances of 0.2% to 0.5% of the final dimension)

No need for reworking (so-called net shape fabrication = ready-to-install products)

Substitution of otherwise costly-to-make conventionally molded or machined parts, assemblies and joined parts

Fully automatic process control during injection molding and computer-controlled debinding and sintering processes lead to high and reproducible process reliability

High material efficiency, since 100% of the material flows into the molded part

Surface finish can be adjusted for specific components
