A tutorial covering Powder injection molding (PIM) will take place during MIM2022, the MPIF reports.
The course takes place on 21 February and will be run by Matthew Bulger, former MIMA President.
According to the MPIF, topics covered include:
- Introduction to the manufacturing processes: feedstocks, molding, debinding, sintering, and finishing
- Definition of what constitutes a viable PIM component
- Selection of materials based on components expectations and required properties
- Assessment of the critical features of dimensional accuracy and material performance
- Comparison of PIM to competing technologies
- Review of the economical advantages of PIM
- New applications, emerging markets, and examples of products never thought possible in net-shape manufacturing until PIM.
Registrants will also receive Metal Injection Molding – A Comprehensive MIM Design Guide.
This story uses material from the MPIF, with editorial changes made by Materials Today.
