MIM technology is ideal for producing components of high mold complexity, such as undercuts and threads, without any subsequent machining required. Furthermore, it is possible to use materials not easily mechanically processed, for instance carbide metal and high-speed steel.
The manufacturing of components with geometrical detail that could not be mechanically produced is made possible by using MIM technology, e.g. lamellae with a wall thickness of less than 0.5 mm.
