Extreme performances reached at optimized cost for Medical Applications

MIM technology for medical and helathcare application
Markets: Medical and Healthcare
Key performances at Optimized Cost:
  • Design Freedom
  • High Strength
  • Superior Surface Finish
  • Durability
  • When trying to substitute metal with plastic to gain in design flexibility and/or in system cost, designers and OEMs may fail in finding acceptable mechanical and aesthetical performance.

    When this case occurs, the Catamold® Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology appears as an excellent choice since it allows mass manufacturing of net shape metal parts with a high flexibility of design to obtain:

      Metal injection molding design freedom Easy shaping of stiff metal for better end part performance
      Metal injection molding manufacturing cost optimization Reduction of manufacturing costs in automated production
      Metal injection molding High Quality perception with Metal Real Metallic appearance (visual, weight and feeling)
