The Injection Molding Market Will Reach 3.7 Billion in 2017

As the report from Global Industry Analysts showed, it’s respected that metal injection molding and ceramic injection molding market will achieve sales of 3.7 billion. As a shaping technology of metal parts, Metal injection molding combines the flexibility of plastic injection molding and durability and strength of metal, which is extremely suitable for small and complex parts, requiring few secondary treatments.

Metal injection molding has competitive advantages, compared with casting, machining, and other conventional processing, such as high accuracy, geometrical flexibility, great surface roughness, and better mechanical properties.

The development of metal injection molding and ceramic injection molding depends on the development of other industries, such as auto, car, electric, medical, etc.
