Micro Metal Injection Molding (MIM) offers numerous advantages over traditional metalworking technologies. It is particularly well-suited for applications requiring complex shapes. Micro MIM provides a wide range of high strength and corrosion resistant materials, offering alternatives for various applications. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and firearms are utilizing MIM in their products. Harber Industrial is a micro metal injection molding company specializing in the production of precision and miniature parts using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology. With years of experience in the powder metallurgy and micro MIM industry, we focus on providing MIM components for the 3C industry, powder metallurgy parts, MIM metal powder injection molding, precision powder metallurgy parts, non-standard precision MIM parts, and injection molded MIM precision accessories. Our products are environmentally friendly.
Our Mirco MIM technology enables mass production of small, complex metal components with precision
Metal injection molding (MIM) is one of the powder metallurgy processes, and therefore has a wide range of material selection and high applicability. In addition, unlike press-sintered powder metallurgy, it also has high design freedom, high density and precise production. Since the injection molding process uses molds, it enables stable, high-quality mass production of metal parts with complex designs. The smaller powder size and higher binder content are significantly different from the press-sintered process, which pose greater challenges for the development of MIM process.
The advantages of Micro MIM include:
Excellent for high volume production: Micro MIM allows for the efficient production of large quantities of parts.
Consolidation of parts: Micro MIM enables the fusion of separate components into a single MIM part, eliminating the need for assembly.
Mass production of intricate parts: Micro MIM is capable of producing highly detailed and intricate parts and structures in large quantities.
Reduction or elimination of machining: Micro MIM can produce near-net shape parts, minimizing the need for additional machining operations.
Waste reduction: Micro MIM minimizes material waste as it utilizes a powder-based process, resulting in reduced material usage.
Total cost reduction: By optimizing material usage, reducing machining requirements, and enabling mass production, Micro MIM helps to lower the overall cost of production.
Our Micro MIM products have a wide range of applications in various industries including medical equipment, instruments and meters, consumer products, household appliances, furniture hardware, nozzles and valves, garments, footwear, sports tools, fasteners, fishing tools, logos, locks, adult toys, watches, and jewelry products, among others.
Many parts have been successfully from other processes into the Micro MIM, and the cost decreased by 30%. For hard materials (such as high strength stainless steel, electronic packaging materials, oxide ceramics, carbide ceramics, and metals, and refractory material), as compared to machining, Micro MIM has been shown that the cost can be reduced by at least 75%. Some devices automobiles, computers, business machines, medical instruments, electronic systems and industrial appliances respect for sometimes 20 times the cost can be reduced.
Micro powder injection molding, large-scale injection molding, and co-injection molding will become important directions for the industry's development. Micro powder injection molding will promote the development of MIM products towards smaller and more refined directions. Large-scale injection molding will increase the size of products by reducing the amount of binder used, promoting the application and popularization of large-sized MIM products. Co-injection molding can organically combine magnetic materials with non-magnetic materials, hard materials with soft materials, and conductive materials with insulating materials, effectively improving the applicability of MIM products.
