Innovative
Together with BASF, ARBURG produced segregation-free, thin-walled PIM housings for smartphones for the first time worldwide in 2016.
Cost-effective
Metal injection moulding (MIM) offers a low-material alternative to the conventional machining of stainless steel, titanium or zirconium oxide.
High-quality
The mould with liquid-tempered hot runner produces very good surfaces that can be highly polished.

MULTILIFT SELECT
A MULTILIFT SELECT linear robotic system gently removes the parts and places them on a slide rail. The green compacts are then debound and sintered.
