Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

The first paper in this review reported on the development of additively manufactured single-use polymer moulds for prototyping and small series production and was presented by Axel Mueller-Koehn, ...

The Powder Injection Molding (PIM), encompassing both Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM), has long been recognized for its ability to produce complex, high-performance ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method for powder injection molding of titanium and similar materials to form components for ...

The molding machine has vital elements to promote the correct formation of parts from the plastic. These parts include hopper, barrel, screw, heaters, movable platen, nozzle, mold, and mold cavity. In ...

Materials are among the most critical elements in many designs, so engineers need to stay up to date on materials advances. But, when you talk about materials, you have to talk about process, too.
