Precision MIM Manufacturing for Custom Metal Components

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an ideal solution for manufacturing complex, high-precision metal parts in medium to large volumes. This case study features three distinct MIM components we produced for clients in various industries. While the final application of each product remains undisclosed, they demonstrate the versatility and capability of our MIM services.

These components were all custom-designed by clients, and we assisted from the prototyping stage through mass production. Our MIM process provides the geometric freedom of plastic injection molding combined with the strength and performance of metal.

From Design to Delivery : Our MIM Journey

🔍Client Need

Our customers were looking for:

  • Production of complex-shaped metal parts with fine detail

  • Better cost-efficiency compared to CNC machining for high volumes

  • Small and medium-sized precision components

  • High mechanical strength and material reliability

🧩 Challenges

  • Complex geometries that would be costly or impossible to machine

  • Tight tolerances and consistent part repeatability

  • Surface finish requirements and fine feature resolution

  • No existing tooling – required tool development and prototyping

🛠️Our Solution

  • Worked closely with clients to optimize part design for MIM

  • Created high-precision tooling with integrated gating strategies

  • Used stainless steel powder feedstock, sintered to near full density

  • Employed secondary processes such as polishing or tumbling when required

  • Delivered end-to-end project management from sampling to delivery

🧲Results

  • Delivered parts with excellent dimensional stability and fine features

  • Achieved cost savings over traditional machining for high-volume runs

  • Successfully handled several unique, unknown-application parts from concept to production

  • Customers praised the combination of strength, aesthetics, and consistency

🎯Conclusion

This case study highlights our ability to support custom MIM production, even when the end application is unclear. Our team focuses on technical precision, manufacturability, and client collaboration to ensure a successful MIM solution from start to finish.
