The metal molds of MIM technology have the same using life as plastic injection molds. Because the mold is made of metal, MIM is suitable for mass parts production. Because of metal injection machines consistency and repeatability, this technology makes sure high quality of mass production.

MIM material is extensive like iron, high speed steel, stainless steel, tool steel, hard metal. In principle, all metals that can be sintered will be used as material to make parts, including those that hard to be machined and high melting point.

What is more, MIM technology can mix materials according to customers'requirements so that to make various kinds of parts.

MIM material powder is micron, so that it can be sintered and shrunk fast to increase the mechanical properties, extend the fatigue life.

Also, it can improve the resistance to corrosion and magnetic performance. Regarding to the material too hard and complex shapes, easy being polluted, MIM can largely save cost.

For instance, to make a typewriter element guide bar, normal technology needs 14 processes, but if use MIM, only need 6 processes and save 50% cost, the smaller parts the more benefit.

In conclusion, MIM technology has very big potential for various kinds of fields.
