MIM-Master Neo: A new generation of the continuous debinding and sintering solution that changed the MIM industry
When first introduced in the early 1990s, the MIM-Master continuous debinding and sintering furnace system from CREMER Thermoprozessanlagen GmbH, in combination with BASF SE’s Catamold® feedstock, transformed MIM technology into a truly viable high-volume manufacturing process.
Today, the system has been further enhanced, and the ‘next-generation’ MIM-Master Neo promises even higher capacity, improved temperature homogeneity and reduced running costs. In this article, the company’s Jacqueline Gruber, Hartmut Weber and Ingo Cremer tell the story of MIM-Master and outline the innovations in the new system.

Small-scale, complex parts with a fine surface finish: An AM solution from Incus meets the demands of MIM producers
There can be few Metal Injection Moulding companies who are not actively exploring the potential of metal Additive Manufacturing in their business. Whilst Binder Jetting and Material Extrusion-based processes are gaining much attention, particularly for the production of larger components, things become more complex when it comes to producing the parts that fall at the smaller end of MIM’s size range, where surface resolution and finish become even more critical.
In this article, Dr Gerald Mitteramskogler shares insight into Incus GmbH’s Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing process with PIM International and explains why it is so well suited to use by MIM producers.
