Metal Injection Molding, Precision Machining | 40+ Years of Precision Molding & Electronics Manufacturing – FORESHOT
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a high-precision manufacturing process that combines powder metallurgy with plastic injection molding technology. It is suitable for mass production of metal parts with complex structures and fine dimensions.
This technology uses ultra-fine metal powder mixed with thermoplastic binder to make "injection raw materials". After injection molding, degreasing and sintering steps are performed to finally obtain high-density and high-strength metal parts, whose physical and mechanical properties are comparable to those of traditional forging materials. FORESHOT UL safety standards Metal Injection Molding, Metal Injection Molding, Precision Machining manufacturing technologies from Taiwan since 1985. FORESHOT covers a wide range of manufacturing techniques, including Micro Injection Molding, Thin-wall Parts Injection Molding, and Double-Shot Injection Molding. These services are tailored to meet the needs of diverse applications in sectors like Medical Appliances, Optical Components, and Vehicle Accessories. Their innovative approach and advanced technology in areas like RHCM and LSR/LSM Injection Molding position them as a leader in the field, capable of handling complex and precision-based requirements in plastic injection molding.

Metal Injection Molding, Precision Machining
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a high-precision manufacturing process that combines powder metallurgy with plastic injection molding technology. It is suitable for mass production of metal parts with complex structures and fine dimensions.
This technology uses ultra-fine metal powder mixed with thermoplastic binder to make "injection raw materials". After injection molding, degreasing and sintering steps are performed to finally obtain high-density and high-strength metal parts, whose physical and mechanical properties are comparable to those of traditional forging materials.
Advantages
- High complexity design freedom: can achieve geometric structures that cannot be achieved by traditional processing.
- High material utilization: near net molding, reducing post-processing and material waste.
- High batch production efficiency: suitable for medium to large-scale production, good stability.
- Good surface quality: the surface of the molded part is flat, reducing the need for post-processing.
Features
- Raw material preparation: Mix metal powder with polymer binder to make processable raw material.
- Injection molding: Use an injection molding machine to inject feed into the mold and mold it into a preset shape.
- Degreasing: Remove organic binders from the molded parts to retain the metal structure.
- High-temperature sintering: Sintering is performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere to combine metal particles into a dense solid.
Applications
- MIM parts are widely used in medical devices, consumer electronics, automobile and motorcycle components, tools and hardware, military equipment and other fields. They are particularly suitable for products that require high precision, strong functionality and strict appearance.
