Metal Injection Molding (MIM): production of precision metal components
MIM for High-Tech Industries
In 2007, Silcon Plastic expanded its business, building on over 30 years of experience in injection molding, by adopting Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology.
This innovative process allows for the production of complex, small and medium-sized metal components, reducing costs by eliminating post-production mechanical processing and minimizing waste.
MIM technology has seen significant global growth and, in addition to the orthodontic, firearms, and fashion sectors, is now used in high-tech fields such as biomedical, automotive, and aerospace, ensuring precision, efficiency, and production versatility.
MIM manufacturing processes
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an advanced technology that combines metal powder injection and sintering to create high-precision metal components.

MIM technology for tomorrow’s industry
Thanks to its experience in building plastic injection molds, ongoing research into powder metallurgy, and the selection and training of highly specialized personnel, Silcon Plastic has grown significantly in the MIM sector. An in-house design and workshop department allows for maximum flexibility in component development and ongoing dialogue with customers.
Materials development is accomplished through mechanical, chemical, and metallographic characterization, with testing on specific specimens. This approach ensures high-quality MIM components and allows for rapid performance evaluation of new materials.
Certifications
In 2004, confirming its commitment to rigorous production cycle management and ensuring the high quality of its products, Silcon Plastic srl obtained UNI EN ISO 9001 certification. Since 2023, the company has also been UNI EN ISO 14001 certified, guaranteeing its attention to environmental sustainability and responsible resource management.
