Technology & Products

Key Products

Metal Injection Molding (MIM); 3D Printed Metal (3DPM); Rapid Prototyping; Alloy Development; Metrology Assistance

Technological Advantage

Leverages 50+ years of MIM sintering and metallurgy expertise to achieve 99%+ density in binder-jetted parts, ensuring mechanical properties comparable to traditional manufacturing.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Provides a hybrid manufacturing path that reduces time-to-market by using binder jetting for prototyping and bridge production, then scaling to MIM for high-volume cost efficiency while maintaining consistent material properties.

How They Differentiate

Unlike pure-play AM bureaus, Parmatech offers a seamless transition from 3D printed prototypes to high-volume MIM production using identical material sets and sintering infrastructure, reducing validation risks.
