Fabrication
The tool for this part requires multiple slide actions in order to achieve the target geometry. In addition to a complex injection mold, a complex system for setting the part during sintering enabled the elimination of post-sinter cold deformation.
Results
Using MIM to create this part resulted in:
- The elimination of two coining steps (entirely removing the need for coining)
- Economical costs
- Removal of waste from previously machining the part from bar stock
