Abstract

Metal powder injection molding (MIM) has been in production since the 1970s. During that time the market has expanded enormously to include a broad array of applications; the initial successes were in dental orthodontic brackets, watch cases, and firearms, but recently the technology has moved into higher performance, life-critical applications in dental implants, artificial joints, heart pacemakers, and aerospace jet engines. This chapter provides a statistical overview of MIM, its applications, growth, financial performance, and growth prospects.
