Results for tag: "Powder Injection Molding"

Powder Injection Molding (PIM) is a mechanical engineering process used to produce complex, precision parts from a variety of materials. It is a combination of plastic injection molding and powder metallurgy, which allows for the production of parts with complex geometries and high dimensional accuracy. The process involves mixing a powdered material with a binder, which is then injected into a mold. The mold is then heated and cooled to solidify the part. PIM is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, medical, and consumer products. PIM offers several advantages over traditional injection molding, such as lower tooling costs, shorter lead times, and the ability to produce parts with complex geometries. Additionally, PIM can be used to produce parts with a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and polymers. Some companies in the Powder Injection Molding market include: BASF, Coperion, GKN Sinter Metals, Höganäs, and Plansee Group. Show Less Read more
