金属注射成形(MIM)设计与应用指南

Designing for Metal Injection Moulding:A Guide For Designers and End-Users

一位设计师对MIM工艺了解越多,采用MIM工艺成功的机会就越大。本文为采用MIM工艺生产零件的最终用户提供了一些需要考虑的、有用的准则。虽然本文是为金属注射成形编写的,但提出的在设计中需要考虑的事项也适用于陶瓷注射成形(CIM)。

This article is based on l）esigning for Metal Injection Molding： A Guide for Designers and End-Users~, by Professor Randall German, published in the December 2008 issue of PIM International. Professor German is Associate Dean of Engineering at the College of Engineering, San Diego State University, USA and a Consulting Editor of PIM International Presented on the following pages are some effective guidelines that end-users need to consider when looking to use the metal injection molding （MIM） route for the production of components. As this online feature clearly demonstrates, the greater the understanding of the MIM process that a designer has, the greater the chances of successful adoption of MIM technology. Although prepared with metal injection molding in mind, the design considerations presented are also applicable to ceramic injection molding （CIM）.
