Metal Injection
Metal Injection is a manufacturing process that combines metal powder with a binding agent to create a feedstock. This feedstock is then injected into a mold under high pressure, allowing for the production of complex shapes and components. The process is known for its ability to create intricate designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining methods.
After the injection process, the molded parts undergo a debinding phase to remove the binding agent, followed by sintering, where the parts are heated to a temperature that fuses the metal particles together. This results in a solid, dense component that retains the desired shape and properties.
