ARBURG CELEBRATES SO YEARS OF PIM EXPERTISE

摘要

When the first moulded part made from ceramic powder with thermoplastic binder was produced on an Allrounder injection moulding machine 50 years ago, no-one could appreciate the potential contained in this process. Many of the visions of the time have since become reality, including automotive engine valve actuation systems, components for smartphones or grinding discs for coffee machines. Compared to conventional machining processes, the injection moulding of metal and ceramic materials (MIM, CIM) offers a wide range of design possibilities. With powder injection moulding (PIM), complex parts with internal threads, gearings or undercuts can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively in high volumes.
