[15D-T8-04] Development of Mass Production Technology for Hollow Parts by MIM Process
Keywords:Hollow Parts, Metal Injection Molding, Mass production
There have been various problems in realizing three-dimensional hollow shapes by Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Technology. It is impossible to mold a curved shape inside the product using a sliding method.
Alternatively, it would be possible to make it by press-fitting two parts, but Parting Line(PL) will remain. Also, depending on the required quality, it is foreseen that abnormal noise will occur with press-fitting products.
We have succeeded in developing the integration of hollow shapes using our MIM technology, and have established mass production technology. We will explain problems and countermeasures of making the hollow shapes inside MIM products.
