Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

Editor’s note: A recognized expert in powder injection molding (PIM), Randall German is Brush Chair Professor in Materials at Penn State University. PIM takes advantage of the fluid-like behavior of ...

Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

Powder injection molding (PIM), which includes metal injection molding (MIM) and ceramic injection molding (CIM), is a cutting-edge manufacturing process for intricate, high-volume precision ...

In the world of modern manufacturing, selecting the right material and production process can make or break a product’s success. Among the wide array of thermoplastics available today, Acrylonitrile ...

Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods, from lamina-level to multidirectional laminate-level, have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

Though it’s been around since the 1970s, resin transfer molding (RTM) continues to grow in popularity due to its ability to efficiently make strong and excellent quality parts in production quantities ...
