Metal Injection Moulding (MIM)

The luxury accessory market demands increasingly higher standards of customization and attention to detail. The Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology, which combines the principles of polymer injection moulding with powder metallurgy, provides an advanced solution to these requirements.

Thanks to the facilities in Trento and Palazzolo sull’Oglio (Brescia), specialized in MIM, Oerlikon Fineparts manufactures steel components with superior precision and quality, while also delivering significant benefits in terms of environmental sustainability.

MIM benefits

  • almost zero scrap production: the MIM process ensures raw material use above 99%, compared to approximately 50% for machining and cold stamping operations

  • components with high mechanical properties and ability to create complex geometries

  • maximum precision and level of detail

  • superior quality compared to traditional processes in specific applications, such as letters within logos and inscriptions

  • an effective alternative to machining or steel cold stamping, which are often more difficult and complex
