Metal Injection Molding: The Best Process You AREN'T Using

In episode 248 of China Manufacturing Decoded, we explore an innovative, yet perhaps lesser-utilized metal-forming technique called Metal Injection Molding (MIM). Sofeast CEO Renaud hosts and is joined by Paul Adams, New Product Development head, to look into how MIM works, its unique advantages, and why it's gaining traction as a reliable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes for metal parts and products like die-casting and metal machining. This episode aims to reveal how MIM can revolutionize your approach to creating complex, precise metal parts efficiently. Hit play and discover how this less well-known manufacturing process can reshape your understanding of metal production.   Show Sections 00:00: Introduction and Overview of Manufacturing Processes 06:12: What is Metal Injection Molding (MIM)? 08:36: Key Steps in MIM 17:15: Shrink Rate and Post Processing 21:51: Comparing MIM with Casting 26:02: Advantages of Metal Injection Molding 28:32: Applications and Industry Use Cases 34:27: Material Selection and Design Considerations 37:13: Equipment Requirements for MIM 41:46: Wrapping Up   Related content...
