MIXING: Mix <20 µm typical powder with polymer (binder) system to produce the MIM feedstock.

MOLDING: Mold complex components from the feedstock using standard plastic injection molding equipment & techniques. All molding presses are equipped with robotic part removal systems.

DEBINDING: Debind without disturbing the shape of the parts, using water to roughly extract 50% of the binder in each part.

SINTERING: Remove the remaining plastic binder by sintering parts in a high temperature H2/N2 pusher furnace. The part goes from roughly 60% dense at the start to >95% dense.

SECONDARY OPERATIONS: Parts can be machined, coined, heat treated, plated, and black-oxided.
