MIM DESIGN GUIDE AND ADVANTAGES（2）

Weight and size: MIM is suitable for parts with weight less than 100g, and less than 50g is the most common application.

However, parts weighing up to 250g can also be processed by MIM process. Raw materials are the key cost factor of the MIM process.

In the early stage of MIM product design, the weight of components is often reduced as much as possible. Like plastic products,

The weight of components can be reduced through the core and bracket without affecting the integrity of the product.

MIM is outstanding in terms of small and micro components, and it is also possible to weigh less than 0.1 g.

Products with a length of more than 250mm can also do this.

Batch size: For MIM products, mold and early product development process are necessary for the MIM process,

Therefore, for small batches of products (annual demand is less than thousands), it usually affects the decision-making process.

MIM can increase its output from tens of thousands of pieces per year to tens of millions of pieces per year, which can be realized very economically.

Wide range of raw materials: MIM can handle many materials, including ferroalloy, stainless steel, copper, KOVAR alloy, superalloy, hard alloy, etc.
