Complete Guide To The Most Common Varieties of metal injection molding

When you intend to produce parts in large volumes, applying the injection molding process is the best idea. The manufacturing process, in general, involves the injection of molten materials into a mold. The metal injection molding process is a specialized version of the molding process where the manufacturer combines finely powdered metal with some thermoplastic binder material to create the feedstock.

Using silicone

The use of liquid silicone in silicone injection molding has become a revolutionary advancement in manufacturing parts, especially in the automotive and healthcare industries. The high consistency of liquid silicone supports the production of parts for industries like aerospace, electronics, infant care, automotive, and many more.

The biocompatibility of the liquid silicone turns out to be complementary to the human body fluid and tissue. Hence, it is the ideal raw material to form the elastomers.
The material can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for use in the parts close to the hot engines and hood of the cars.

Use of ceramic injection molding

When conventional machining fails to perform, the ceramic injection molding technology comes to the rescue. It is ideal when you have to produce complex shapes of the parts or some intricate designs in the small parts. The use of sub-micron ceramic powder provides the best surface finish.

Materials Molded

A Variety of Thermoplastics

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
Polyoxymethylene or Polyacetal (ACETAL)
Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonate + Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC + ABS)
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
Polyethylene (PE)
Polypropylene (PP)
Nylon
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

Easy to impart shapes

As the demands of the customers increase every day, you need to be creative even in the designs of the conventional parts to draw the attention of customers. The liquid injection molding technique allows you to achieve perfection in the intricate designs, too, by the use of injecting liquid raw material inside the molds. Impacting the shapes and designs has never been easier.
