3D-μMIM® application examples

3D-μMIM®(3D-metal injection moulding) is our original lost core method for producing parts with complicated undercuts and so on.

Check valve

3D-μMIM® Check valve — Outer diameter: φ2.25mm, Wall thickness: 0.5mm

3D-μMIM® Check valve — Outer diameter: φ2.25mm, Wall thickness: 0.5mm

Mass production of components with complex hollow design as follows

1. Special flow path including undercut
2. 0.2mm or less thin wall part
3. Different materials in the cavity

Reverse taper structure

3D-μMIM® Reverse taper structure — Column size; Top: φ300μm, Bottom: φ150μm, Height: φ500μm

3D-μMIM® Reverse taper structure — Column size; Top: φ300μm, Bottom: φ150μm, Height: φ500μm

A microstructure is placed on the surface to improve its functionality.

1. Increasement of surface area
2. Improvement of bonding strength with dissimilar materials by an anchor effect
3. Reduction of contact area

Nozzle/flow path

3D-μMIM® Nozzle/flow path

3D-μMIM® Nozzle/flow path

Mass production components with complicated internal channels.

1. Flow path with optimised fluid behaviour
2. Applicable for specially designed orifices
3. Difficult-to-cut materials like SUS, Ti are also available
