Metal Powder Injection Molding: When Is It Better Than CNC Machining?

For small, complex metal components produced in high volumes, CNC machining may not always be the most economical option.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the mechanical properties of metal, making it suitable for small and complex components with challenging geometries.

MIM success depends heavily on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) before tooling begins.
