μ-MIM® Technical Newsletter

Our metal 3D printer goes into full scale operation as we have introduced in our technical newsletter and webinars. The printing system has been operated with a spot diameter of 35 µm, and the printing system with a special 15 µm spot is now available.

It is never too late to learn anything! This time we would like to review the basics of the measurements of sintered density, a basic physical property of MIM components.

We have recently renovated our headquarters’ factory: at the beginning of this year, we started the renewed factory operation. Some of the measurement or evaluation equipment installation is not completed yet though we will introduce our new production line.

Compared to other metal component manufacturing processes, the metal injection moulding (MIM) process is fairly complicated and each process step is interactive. Furthermore, our μ-MIM technology normally deals with very complex designed small components in serial production.

As the last issue in 2021, we would like to introduce some common defects and the problem solutions in the debinding and sintering process in metal injection moulding (MIM).

In the metal injection moulding (MIM) process, every processing parameter will affect the final component’s quality significantly, especially in small and complicated designed MIM components production.
