MIM Process

From powder to manufacturable precision metal parts

MIM compounds metal powder and binder into injectable feedstock. At TANCHIN, injection molding, debinding, vacuum sintering, and finishing produce dense metal components.

MIM Process Intelligence

Four steps. Precision in every part.

Explore the MIM process
  1. Powder + Binder

    Metal powder and binder are compounded into moldable feedstock.

  2. Injection Molding

    Custom tooling forms complex green parts with geometric freedom.

  3. Debinding + Vacuum Sintering

    After binder removal, controlled processing in a vacuum sintering furnace densifies the metal parts.

  4. Finishing + Inspection

    Secondary processing and inspection complete the production loop.

Good fit for MIM

  • Complex geometry with high machining cost
  • Small to medium precision metal components
  • Material flexibility and dimensional stability
  • Finishing, heat treatment, or surface processing needs

Development flow

We evaluate drawings, material requirements, tolerances, volume, and application conditions to determine MIM feasibility and plan sampling through production.
