Integration
Four individual pieces were integrated into a one-piece PIM component. Such a design modification resulted in better performance at reduced costs. This particular part was awarded the MIM Grand Prize by the MPIF in 2000.
 

Design Innovation
The original design consisted of an undercut along the outer ring that cannot be molded. The new six-pad design replaced the undercut and allowed large volume production via PIM.
 

Thin Wall Capability
This component has intricate geometries, a hollowed structure, and an overall wall thickness of less than 1mm (0.04in). It was awarded the Year 2002 Award of Distinction by MPIF.
 

In-Coring™

AMT has developed and filed the patent to manufacture metal/ceramic parts with undercut features using powder injection molding. This process, trademarked as In-Coring, allows flexible designs that reduce unnecessary cost and increase productivity.
 

Complexity & Miniaturization
These parts illustrate AMT’s PIM capability through shape complexity and miniaturization of less than 2.0 grams and were awarded the Year 1995 Award of Distinction and 1993 Grand Prize by MPIF.
 

High Aspect Ratio & High Precision

This 105mm (4.14in) by 105mm (4.14in) by 1.5mm (0.06in) fiber optic connector is made of Kovar. This component defied conventional PIM aspect ratio and size to meet specific dimension and hermetic requirement. This particular part was awarded the Year 2003 Award of Distinction by MPIF.
 

New Materials

Armed with patents and material know-how, AMT is capable of developing non-standard materials based on a customer’s specific requirements.

 

Bi-material Components

AMT is capable of co-injecting two different materials to form an integrated two material component. This process eliminates costly assembly operations and enhances product performance.
 

Colored Ceramics
AMT is able to fabricate ceramic components with wall thickness as thin as 1mm (0.04in) and in various selected colors. The type of ceramic materials used included alumina and zirconia.
