MIM is very cost-effective for manufacturing high volume complex parts. The technology allows varied industries to produce components with very minimal metal (material) wastage. MIM reduces assembly part count and the number of bond joints in a component. This reduces the requirement of an assembly process (machinery, equipment) and associated manp...

Powder bed fusion (PBF) and DED are widely used metal AM technologies. While PBF can print complicated parts with high finish, the technology has limitations with respect to build speed and part size. Conversely, DED technologies provide lower surface quality and higher build rate; in addition, they can produce and repair large-sized parts, on dema...
