Switching from cutting to MIM manufacturing method increases mass production efficiency and reduces costs!
Machine parts in the million-order range, with numerous achievements in medical device components over more than 30 years. Obtained a U.S. patent through independent development.
The image shows a case where the mass production capability was improved and lead time was reduced by switching parts that were traditionally machined to the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method. Additionally, by reducing the material weight by nearly 90g through a process called "de-bulking," cost reduction was also achieved. ◎Product Overview - Material: SUS304L - Size: 40×35×35 - In the case of MIM, the product weight significantly affects the cost, so de-bulking is done as much as possible. 【Castem's MIM Method】 The MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method is a processing technique that mixes metal powder with an organic binder (resin) and injects it into a mold to produce metal parts in the desired shape. It excels in producing fine three-dimensional complex shapes with a wall thickness of up to 5mm and achieves a density of over 95%. It can accommodate orders in the millions and has superior mechanical strength compared to conventional sintered products. We are also advancing the in-house development of compounds made by mixing metal powder and binder, and obtained a U.S. patent in 1991.
