In episode 248 of China Manufacturing Decoded, we explore an innovative, yet perhaps lesser-utilized metal-forming technique called Metal Injection Molding (MIM).

Sofeast CEO Renaud hosts and is joined by Paul Adams, New Product Development head, to look into how MIM works, its unique advantages, and why it's gaining traction as a reliable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes for metal parts and products like die-casting and metal machining.

This episode aims to reveal how MIM can revolutionize your approach to creating complex, precise metal parts efficiently. Hit play and discover how this less well-known manufacturing process can reshape your understanding of metal production.
