Not all parts are good candidates for metal injection molding (MIM).

One factor is the size of the part being produced.

If a part is too big, it is not a good candidate for MIM. At Smith, we typically work with parts that measure less than three inches long. Compatible parts usually way under 100 grams. Most of the parts we currently make are under 50 grams.

If you want an easy way to think about it, parts that are smaller than a fist are usually a good size for metal injection molding.
