Ceramic Injection Molding is an innovative new process at Indo-MIM under a six sigma controlled environment. The CIM process gives production engineers and product designers more versatility in the use of ceramics as an alternative material – with higher productivity, lower manufacturing costs and improved product performance. CIM is also a good option, when you need to replace plastic and metal components that fail to perform adequately.
The inherent advantages of the CIM process place a focus on quality and precision, working closely with customer specifications and a closely monitored process that meets these requirement. The low cost and complex designing capabilities of CIM Technology offers higher economies of scale and cuts manufacturing time by eliminating elaborate machining and finishing.
How Ceramic Injection Molding works
Fine Ceramic powder is mixed with a polymer binder. This mixture is granulated to form “feedstock”
Feedstock is heated to form viscous slurry and injection molded to form “green” part.
Part of the binders are removed through solvent de-binding to get “brown” part.
The brown part is densified through sintering to get ‘finished’ part.
