Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
Metal injection molding (MIM) is a process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material and then shaped and solidified using injection molding. Metal injection molding is used to create small, intricate, high-volume products.

MIM can produce parts where it is difficult, or even impossible, to efficiently manufacture an item through other methods. The molding process allows high volume, complex parts to be shaped in a single step.
The most common metals used in MIM are stainless steels. The typical products are used in industrial, commercial, medical, dental, firearms, aerospace, and automotive applications.
