It is precisely because we use molds that we can easily create complex and unique shapes.

MIM, which is manufactured by pouring raw materials into a mold all at once, allows for shapes that are close to the final form during the molding stage, providing cost advantages. Shapes that previously required multiple processing steps can now be delivered with high precision in a single molding using MIM. Our company has the strength of being able to respond quickly because we manufacture our molds in-house. (We have published examples of shapes in the downloadable materials.)

• Other molds

Due to mold forming, it is possible to create various complex shapes in one go! This reduces processing and leads to cost reduction.

We would like to introduce examples where benefits arise from Metal Injection Molding (MIM). MIM, which shapes complex geometries using molds similar to plastic injection molding, can produce parts that are closer to the final shape. By reducing the number of machining areas and minimizing them, it can lead to cost reductions. Additionally, by combining parts and transforming them into complex shapes through MIM, it is possible to create shapes that leverage the cost-saving advantages of the MIM process, while also eliminating processes such as welding and assembly. 【Examples of Benefits】 ■ Horizontal hole shapes and undercut shapes - Shaping complex geometries using molds like plastic injection molding - Can be produced in shapes close to the final form (near-net shape) - Reducing machining areas allows for cost reductions ■ Integration of parts - Combining parts to transform them into complex shapes for MIM - Can create shapes that lead to cost reductions utilizing the MIM process - Eliminating processes such as welding and assembly can also contribute to cost reduction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Leave metal powder injection molding to us.

Our company is engaged in a new form of metal parts manufacturing technology called "Metal Powder Injection Molding," which integrates metal powder metallurgy technology with plastic injection molding technology. By mixing metal powder with a binder (such as plastic resin), we perform injection molding within a mold, followed by a debinding process to remove the binder, and then high-temperature sintering to produce high-density metal products. *We have published a manufacturing method using illustrations on our website. We leverage the extensive knowledge of metal materials from the Mitsui Metals Group and combine it with plastic injection molding technology to provide high-quality, low-cost MIM products. **Features of MIM:** - Capable of producing complex three-dimensional shapes and suitable for mass production - Achieves higher dimensional accuracy - High density, high strength, high hardness, and high corrosion resistance - Compatible with various materials and difficult-to-machine materials - Proposes labor-saving in subsequent processes and cost reduction, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Due to its high density, it improves strength and airtightness! Introducing the benefits of MIM technology that also leads to cost reduction.

Here are the benefits of MIM (Metal Injection Molding). In "die casting," there are challenges such as insufficient strength and low heat resistance. By adopting MIM and changing the material to iron or SUS, both strength and heat resistance are improved. Additionally, in "lost wax," cost reduction is possible by omitting post-processing due to improved dimensional accuracy, while in "press processing," cost reduction is achieved through the reduction of integrated molding processes. **Benefits of MIM:** - **Die Casting** - Strength and heat resistance are improved by changing the material to iron or SUS. - Similar mold structures can be used, allowing for replacement even in complex-shaped parts. - **Machining** - Near-net shape reduces the number of processing areas, enabling cost reduction. - Capable of mass production, which may also lead to cost reduction. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Relative density is over 95%, making it high density! The construction method can be smoothly replaced.

MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is a type of powder metallurgy method that uses metal powder as raw material, allowing for the mass production of parts with complex three-dimensional shapes with high precision and strength. It is a composite technology of "plastic injection molding technology" and "powder metallurgy technology," making it possible to manufacture complex shapes that can be molded with plastic using metal. With a single molding process, a shape close to the final product (near-net shape) can be obtained, aiming for a reduction in machining. Additionally, through the application of insert technology, it can accommodate hollow and undercut shapes. Primarily using stainless steel, which is considered a difficult-to-machine material, we also handle materials such as superalloys. (A list of main materials is available in the catalog.) 【Features】 ■ Three-dimensional complex shapes ■ High precision ■ High strength ■ Mass production ■ Difficult-to-machine materials *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Achieving reduced processing compared to near-net shape, leading to cost reduction.

MIM is a type of powder metallurgy method that uses metal powder as raw material, and it is a technology that enables the manufacturing of complex-shaped metal parts through injection molding. Since it uses molds for shaping, it is suitable for mass production. Additionally, it can handle difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, leading to cost reductions due to reduced machining. 【Features】 ■ Complex three-dimensional shapes Using the same molding method as plastic injection molding, it can create complex shapes, allowing for near-net-shape forms that are close to the final product in a single molding process, which contributes to cost reduction. ■ High precision and high strength Dimensional accuracy can be achieved within ±0.5%, and surface roughness can be below Ra3.2, ensuring high precision. A relative density of over 95% provides strength comparable to that of soluble materials. ■ Mass production Due to the use of molds in the manufacturing process, it is suitable for mass production, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of units per month.

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
