MIM process MIM process is a manufacturing technology that combines metal powder injection molding and plastic injection molding. Its basic principle is to mix metal powder and binder to make metal injection molding blanks, then use plastic injection molding machine to inject and mold the blanks, and finally obtain the final product through degreasing and sintering. ‍
