MIM at Euro PM2011: Metal Injection Moulding of applied functional materials

摘要

Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is now a well-established technology for the processing of a range of structural-materials, but there is also a growing number of applications where the material involved is also performing a function other than merely a mechanical or geometrical one. A Special Interest Seminar "Metal Injection Moulding of Applied Functional Materials", chaired by Frank Petzoldt (Fraunhofer - IFAM) and Bruno Vicenzi (Mimitalia srl) and held at the Euro PM 2011 Conference in Barcelona on 12 October 2011, provided an insight into a number of emerging applications of this type.
