The PIM Process
Powder Injection Molding of ceramics and metal
alloys for a wide variety of industry applications. The PIM Process
combines injection molding technology with powder metallurgy and ceramic
sintering processes to achieve near-net shape high volume production of
complex mechanical components.

Materials
From industry standard materials to custom
development of application specific alloys, Parmatech has the material
solution for your demanding design requirements. Materials Scientists
coupled with in-house custom alloy development allows for solutions
beyond typical component suppliers.

Part Selection
Small mechanical components with complex geometry
are ideal candidates for PIM. High volume applications maximize the cost
saving benefits inherent with injection molding, giving design engineers
a powerful tool to reduce cost on difficult to machine parts.
