Formatec expands with in-house MIM sintering capability
February 6, 2023
Formatec, a Nano Dimension company based in Goirle, the Netherlands, has purchased its first full-size Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) furnace from Elnik Systems, LLC, Cedar Grove, New Jersey, USA. The furnace enables Formatec to now debind and sinter MIM components in-house rather than using a toll-sintering specialist. Prior to this investment, sintering services were outsourced to DSH Technologies, a company affiliated to Elnik Systems with toll-sintering operations in both the US and Germany.
Formatec has provided MIM services to its customer base since 2020. Prior to this, it was focused on Ceramic Injection Moulding (CIM) and ceramic Additive Manufacturing, serving sectors that include luxury goods such as watchcases, as well as industrial components.
René Bult, Managing Director, Formatec, stated, “I am really looking forward to further expand our manufacturing services for the exiting MIM and metal AM market.”
