The advantages of Metal Injection Molding in Medical Technology

Our partner, Cadence, Inc., a full-service provider for contract manufacturing in the medical technology and diagnostics sectors, has expanded its portfolio to include Metal Injection Molding (MIM) solutions. Metal Injection Molding is a modern process ideal for producing small to medium-sized parts with complex geometries. This technique combines the versatility of plastic injection molding with the material properties of metal, allowing for the use of materials like stainless steel, tungsten, magnetic and implantable materials, and specialized alloys such as nickel-cobalt.

Cadence offers extensive in-house capacities for compounding and mixing, ensuring consistently high material quality through state-of-the-art blending processes and computer-assisted weighing systems. Densities of over 98% can be achieved, ensuring maximum stability.

Metal Injection Molding is the ideal solution for the medical technology sector, where precision is paramount in developing instruments and devices. Typical applications include complex components for medical devices, parts for (robotic) surgical instruments, and orthopedic components.
