CASE STUDY: A typical micro-PIM tooling project

摘要

The finished parts in this case study are highly complex, precise, micro-sized, medical components that weigh less than 0.1 g after sintering. Typically, the tooling described would produce only two of the 20 to 80 geometries included in an order. On average, the surfaces of the parts made with these tools are produced by as many as nine precision mould inserts. Each of these inserts creates shut-offs with as many as seven of the other part surface forming inserts.
