RAQs 1. What is MIM technology? MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is a manufacturing technology that combines the shape making complexity of Plastic Injection Molding with the material flexibility of Powder Metallurgy. 2. How does the MIM process work? Fine metal powders are combined with thermoplastic and wax binders to form a feedstock. When heated, the feedstock becomes a viscous slurry which is then injected under high pressure into an engineered mold to form the desired shape component. Upon cooling, the part is ejected from the mold and then subjected to a process (called......
