MIM Metal Injection Molding — Preferred for high-volume precision manufacturing

 

MIM（Metal Injection Molding）mixes metal powder with a binder, injects it into a mold, and then debinds and sinters it to obtain dense metal parts. It is particularly suitable for precision metal parts with complex 3D structures, high volume, and high precision, with unit cost 50-70% lower than CNC.

Complex structures formed in one shot

Internal snaps, threads, and special-shaped cross-sections are formed in one shot, reducing assembly steps by 80%

High precision ±0.3%

Achieves IT8-9 tolerance, good batch consistency, SPC process control

Cost reduction 50-70%

When annual demand exceeds 5,000 pieces, MIM unit cost is far lower than CNC machining

30+ materials available

316L、17-4PH、Ti-6Al-4V、Fe-50Ni...

Excellent surface quality

Ra <0.8μm, appearance parts can be used directly, reducing post-processing

Material utilization >95%

Green manufacturing, in line with sustainable development, RoHS/REACH compliant

MBJ Metal 3D Printing — No tooling required, 3-5 day rapid prototyping

 

MBJ (Metal Binder Jetting) bonds metal powder layer by layer using a binder, requiring no tooling and no support structures. It is suitable for design validation, small-batch production, and rapid prototyping of complex structures. It shares the sintering process with MIM, and the data can be directly used for mass production transition.

First article in 3-5 days

No waiting for tooling, fastest way to validate design feasibility

Free forming of complex structures

Not limited by mold parting lines; internal channels and lattice structures are easily achieved

Parallel batch production

Multiple parts printed simultaneously in the build chamber, improving efficiency and reducing cost

Full density, high performance

Sintered density >96%, mechanical properties close to wrought materials

Seamless transition to MIM

MBJ data can be directly used for MIM mass production, full process with the same supplier

MIM + MBJ Synergy — Seamless transition from prototyping to mass production

 

MBJ rapid design validation + MIM batch cost reduction = complete product lifecycle service. Same supplier, same quality system, zero-risk transition, optimal time, optimal cost.

R&D Engineer

Focus: prototyping speed, design validation

 

In the new product development stage, you need to quickly obtain physical parts to validate the design. MBJ produces first articles in 3-5 days with no tooling cost, supporting rapid iteration and optimization. After validation, seamlessly transition to MIM mass production.

Purchasing Manager

Focus: cost control, supply chain stability

 

High-volume precision parts require cost reduction; MIM unit cost is 50-70% lower than CNC. Annual supply capacity in the tens of millions, on-time delivery rate 99.8%. One-stop from prototyping to mass production reduces supplier management costs.

Project Manager

Focus: full-process management, risk control

 

Need full-process service from design validation to mass production delivery. MBJ+MIM dual process covers the entire lifecycle, a single supplier reduces communication costs, and the APQP system ensures project quality.

Entrepreneur / Hardware Team

Focus: flexible start, cost control

 

Small batches, multiple varieties, rapid iteration to validate market demand. MBJ flexible prototyping requires no tooling investment, and after volume increases, seamlessly switch to MIM mass production. Scale as needed, reducing upfront investment risk.
