Part Improvement
From concept to completion, optimising your MIM part with the right improvements is essential for developing an exceptional component.
Preventing MIM Defects
Our Approach to Defect-Free Production
Uniform Wall Thickness, Coring & Mass Reduction
Uniform Wall Thickness, Coring & Mass Reduction
Our engineers design optimised components with precise material placement, enhancing part quality and precision through coring and mass reduction techniques.
Holes & Slots
Holes & Slots
Holes and slots can be easily produced with MIM, offering reduced part mass, improved uniformity of wall thickness, and minimal additional cost, with perpendicular holes being the most cost-effective.
Undercuts
Undercuts
MIM effortlessly creates external undercuts, boosting design flexibility. Internal undercuts are possible but may need complex solutions and engineering expertise.
Internal and External Casting Threads
Internal and External Casting Threads
Integrated threads, both internal (using unscrewing cores) and external (moulded, sometimes needing a parting line flat), streamline production and improve engagement.
Knurling, Lettering & Logos
Knurling, Lettering & Logos
MIM allows detailed features like knurling, lettering, logos, and date coding to be added directly to components without affecting cost, showcasing its versatility in complex metal part design.
Heat Treating
Heat Treating
Heat treating enhances MIM parts' strength and hardness. Carbon, alloying elements, and porosity influence hardening.
