Technology & Products
Key Products
μ-MIM® and 3D-μMIM® micro components for medical devices, semiconductors, precision industries; MIM services including feedstock injection, debinding, sintering for ferrous/non-ferrous/precious metals; R&D for new alloys/composites
Technological Advantage
Global manufacturing and R&D network across Japan, Thailand, Germany, and the USA; ISO13485 certification for medical device components.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables mass production of high-precision micro metal components (few mm to 10 mm) with ±0.3% dimensional accuracy (tolerances to 10 μm), complex shapes, and no secondary processing needed-surpassing conventional MIM (50 μm tolerance)
How They Differentiate
Specialization in 'micro' scale (μ-MIM®) for high-precision applications where standard MIM or machining fails, supported by a global supply chain.
Market & Competition
