Accelerating Production through Metal Injection Molding Applications:

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Applications have been around for many years, but their popularity and significance continues to grow by the day. Metal Injection Molding has gained significant momentum in our technology-driven world, where small, intricate parts are required to meet specific standards. Some of the benefits of Metal Injection Molding are its repeatability, low excess materials, low energy usage, and effective production output. With zero scrap from the molding process, the precision required in modern technology, and affordable prices for non-ferrous metals, it's no wonder MIM is quickly becoming a preferred manufacturing solution.

One of the most significant advantages of Metal Injection Molding is the ability to produce complex and intricate shapes as seen in the production of surgical tools, firearm components, and more. With the growing demand for 3D-printed objects, new MIM technology innovations continue to advance the injection molding process. A significant step in accelerating production through MIM applications has been the use of the binder removal process. Previously, this was a long and sometimes tedious process that slowed down production times. However, with the introduction of the debinding process, this phase is much quicker, letting the molds cool to produce intricate parts that are ready to use.

Another aspect of Metal Injection Molding is the ability to manufacture multiple items in a single mold. This lowers the total production times and the amount of waste that is produced, which in turn gives a more cost-effective manufacturing solution while advancing sustainability. With this, previously time-consuming production times are greatly reduced, which increases production quantities by allowing the ability to create multiple parts in one mold.

The benefits of Metal Injection Molding extend beyond just efficiency gains. It offers tremendous benefits when it comes to choosing metal powders for production: users can select the composition of the powder, ranging from metallic compounds and ceramics. This opens up and expands the range of possibilities in production applications. MIM processes allow metal materials to be mixed with alloy elements, ceramics, and even diamond powders, leading to higher strength qualities and even better functionality. This also opens up an avenue for new and improved metal materials that may have never been brought to market.

To conclude, there are many benefits to using Metal Injection Molding in production. It is revolutionizing the mold injection process whilst maintaining high precision and providing a cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing solution. Its irreversible nature has revolutionized the binder removal process and production times, allowing intricate parts to be manufactured in record times. Lastly, the ability to mix metal powders together gives us an almost unlimited range of possibilities with improved qualities and functionality. With all things considered, Metal Injection Molding is a process that continues to prove its worth in modern manufacturing applications.

Our rapid injection molding Application

Sigma Technik Limited's rapid injection molding service injects molten plastic materials into molds using injection molding machines and molds, and cools and solidifies them over a certain period of time, ultimately forming the required plastic parts. This manufacturing process is usually suitable for producing small and medium-sized plastic parts, which can obtain high-quality and precise parts in a short period of time.

Plastic Injection Molding

Injection molding is a common manufacturing process to produce low volume to large volumes of parts typically made out of plastic. The process involves injecting molten material into a mold and letting it cool to a solid-state.

Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding

Liquid Silicone Rubber is known as LSR, which is a process used to produce parts made from silicone rubber, widely used create products such as medical devices, automotive parts, baby care products, and many others.

2K Injection molding

2K injection molding is a manufacturing process in which two different types of plastic materials are molded together in a single operation to create a single homogeneous component. This process allows for efficient and cost-effective production of high-quality parts that can perform unique functions.

Overmolding and Insert Molding

Overmolding / Insert molding combines two or more materials into a single part, one of the material is usually soft and flexible, or metal. The purpose of overmolding/insert molding is to add functionality, improve grip, provide protection, or enhance aesthetics.

Rapid Injection Molding FAQs

Burrs appear on the surface of the product, which affects its aesthetics and safety. The solution can be to adjust the parameters of the injection molding machine, such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc., or to perform post-processing, such as polishing, sandblasting, etc.

The warping deformation of the product is usually caused by unstable parameters such as temperature and pressure of the injection molding machine, or improper mold design. The solution can be to adjust parameters such as temperature and pressure, or to redesign the mold.

The occurrence of bubbles inside the product may be due to the high temperature of the injection molding machine and the high moisture content of the material. The solution can be to reduce the temperature of the injection molding machine, adjust the water content of the material, increase the pressure of the injection molding machine, etc.

The product size deviation is too large, which may be caused by material thermal expansion, mold deformation and other reasons. The solution can be to adjust parameters and optimize mold design based on material characteristics.
