Metal Injection Molding (MIM) – Precision and Innovation in Manufacturing

The mechanical and electrical, properties of MIM products make them excellent for use in power electronics. Schunk offers a wide range of materials for power electronics, from pure copper, resistance alloys, to hardenable copper alloys. Highly complex component geometries such as terminals (connectors), shunts, heat exchangers, and circuit boards can be combined with the required electrical and thermal properties of copper materials.

Where high-precision instruments and systems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications are developed, the metal injection molding process shows its strengths. Applications range from sophisticated components for medical devices, spacers, and individual parts for surgical pliers to braces brackets. If you are looking for a development partner to drive innovation in medical technology with you, contact us.

Environmentally conscious consumers value innovative products, high quality, and sustainable production. The MIM process can score threefold here, enhancing your competitiveness. Whether components for the watch industry or smartwatches, for razors, nail files, handbags, binoculars, or digital cameras – the application possibilities for metal injection molding components are limitless.

Did you know that our components were the first safety-relevant MIM parts ever used in aviation? Schunk's MIM components are used in aircraft engines, where they excel due to their high heat resistance and lightweight properties. Our customers benefit from the high reproducibility of the components, reducing manufacturing costs.

As a long-standing partner of the automotive industry, we manufacture customized components for e-mobility. With injection-molded connector housings, copper components, shunts, shielding housings, parts for window lifters, gears, and other wear-resistant and heat-resistant components, we ensure greater safety and comfort in electric vehicles.

We are your experienced development partner when it comes to MIM components that function perfectly even under extreme conditions. Our precision components for the defense sector meet the industry's high quality and safety standards and ensure the reliability of defense systems.
