[Case Study] Switching from machining to MIM reduces material costs and lead time!

We propose optimal shapes and manufacturing methods tailored to your needs and budget. If you are looking for thin-walled and fine metal parts, please contact Castem.

The image shows an example of switching from traditionally machined metal parts to mass production using the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method. The improvement in mass production has significantly reduced lead times. Since the product weight greatly affects costs in MIM, we achieved a bold reduction from 130g to 40g while maintaining strength and accommodating the original complex three-dimensional shape. Material: SUS304L Weight: 40g Size: 40×35×35 【Features of Castem's MIM】 - Excels in thin-walled and finely detailed three-dimensional complex shapes, offering superior mechanical strength compared to conventional sintered products. The surface is smooth, and the dimensional accuracy of the metal molded parts is high. - Exhibits properties equivalent to those of wrought materials in terms of torsion and bending. - Supports a wide range of materials, including Cr-Mo steel, special steels, and titanium. - With multiple base factories in Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Colombia, we are not dependent on a single factory, allowing for a broader range of responses in emergency situations and ensuring stable supply. - Both domestic and overseas factories are ISO 9001 certified, ensuring quality management under a solid management system. - Castem's MIM parts are active in industries requiring precision, such as medical device components and aerospace parts.
