Metal injection molding can be traced back to the 1920s, the beginning of powder injection molding of ceramic spark plugs, and in the following decades, powder injection molding mainly focused on ceramic injection molding.
Until 1979, when the metal injection molding product of Parmatech company founded by Wiech and others won two awards, and when Wiech and Rivers were patented successively, powder injection molding began to turn to metal injection molding.
In the past, due to the lack of suitable powder and the high price of raw materials, imperfect knowledge platform, immature technology, short time for people to understand and accept the market, long production cycle (including mold manufacturing), insufficient investment and so on, its development and application are relatively slow.
In order to solve the difficulties of MIM technology and promote the practical application of MIM technology, a powder worker plan was formulated in the United States in the mid-1980s, which included 18 topics related to injection molding.
Subsequently, Japan and Germany also carried out the development and research of MIM.
Wiech founded Witec in 1980. In 1982, Brunswick entered the MIM industry and acquired Witec, and then gradually registered subsidiaries such as Omark Industry, Remington military products, Rocky Dentistry and so on.
In 1986, Nippon Seison Company of Japan introduced Wiech process.
In 1990, Metalor2000 Company of Israel introduced Wiech process technology from Parmatech Company and established MIM production line.
With the deepening of MIM research, the development of new binders and the continuous progress of milling technology and degreasing technology, industrialization has been realized in the early 1990s.
After more than 20 years of efforts, MIM has become a new near-net forming technology with rapid development and prospect in the international powder metallurgy field, and is known as one of the "international hot metal parts forming technology".
