Design Regression for Identification of Optimal Components for Metal Powder Injection Molding

  • Published : 2006.09.24

Abstract

Production components fabricated by metal powder injection molding are analyzed for features to identify the design window for this powder technology. This reverse approach lets the designer see where PIM has a high probability to succeed. The findings show that the most suitable components tend to be less than 25 mm in size and less than 10 g in mass, are slender, and have high complexity.
