MIM 2011 – International Conference on Injection Molding of Metals, Ceramics and Carbides

The PIM industry (MIM — metal injection molding; CIM — ceramic injection molding; and CCIM — cemented carbide injection molding) has estimated sales of over USD 1 billion and could possibly double in a span of five years.The objective of the conference is to explore innovations and latest accomplishments in the areas of part design, tooling, molding, debinding, and sintering of PIM parts.  The conference will also focus on the developments in PIM processing of different materials including metals and alloys, ceramics, and hardmaterials.

With its focus on "Best Manufacturing Practices," the conference is targeted at product designers, engineers, consumers, manufacturers, researchers, educators, and students. All individuals with an interest in the application of powder injection molding will be encouraged to attend. Deadline for abstract submission is 31 August 2010.  More information: www.mpif.org    (07/2010)
