2. Division of Iscar LTD. Company, located in Tefen, Israel Metal Injection Molding (MIM) & Powdered Metal (P/M), with extensive secondary finishing capability. High volume parts with tolerances less than 1µm (.00004 in.). In-house engineering, tool & automated machine design In-house from powder to finished part AS-9100 & ISO 9001:2000 certified IMC-Microtools
3. Combines material flexibility of powdered metal with design flexibility of plastic injection molding Parts that are good candidates for Metal Injection Molding (MIM): High volume (5,000 pcs/yr to millions of pcs./yr) Complex and/or intricate geometry Tight tolerances (±0.3% of the dimension) Small part size Excellent surface finish required High material density/excellent mechanical properties required (>97% of the theoretical density) Uniform wall thicknesses with fillet radii & draft acceptable One flat side or able to rest unsupported Low unit cost Why MIM?
4. Parts that are good candidates for Powdered Metal: High hardness and/or wear resistance – difficult to machine materials. Part geometry favorable to one axis pressing (i.e. no undercuts, re-entrant cuts, or threaded features) Less than 5 variations in cross section thickness projected surface area—less than 50 in.² (32,000 mm²) diameter of less than 7 in. (185 mm) or up to 12 in. (300 mm) for parts with a large bore length of 6 in. (75 mm) maximum, 0.060 in. (1.5 mm) minimum Length/diameter ratio of 5:1 maximum; length/wall thickness ratio of 8:1 maximum Extremely tight tolerances – down to 1µm (.00004”). Why Powdered Metal?
