  • Metal Molding – It’s Not Just a Theory

    Covid-19 has impacted many industries, but very few companies have felt it quite as sharply as medical device manufacturers. And, as if the pandemic wasn't enough on its own, over the past 12 months we've seen a cargo ship splayed sideways in a canal, a hacked pipeline, and global raw material shortages. Metal injection molding, MIM is a green technology built around specialists with the ability and metallurgical expertise to formulate feedstocks in-house which means it doesn't rely on fragile supply chains, greatly lowering risk for OEMs.
