What Does PIM Stand For?
PIM stands for Powder Injection Molding
PIM, or Powder Injection Molding, is a manufacturing process that combines the techniques of powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding. This technique is used to create complex, high-performance parts by mixing metal or ceramic powders with a binder, which is then injected into a mold to form the desired shape. After cooling, the binder is removed, and the part is sintered to enhance its strength and integrity. PIM is particularly advantageous for producing intricate components in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical, due to its efficiency and precision in mass production.
