Powder Metallurgy

Cost-effective powder metallurgy for complex sintered metal components

Overview

Powder metallurgy (PM) compacts metal powders in precision tooling and sinters them at high temperature to form solid, net-shape parts. Our PM process is ideal for gears, bearings, sprockets, and structural components — especially where complex geometries make machining cost-prohibitive.

We also offer metal injection molding (MIM) for smaller, high-complexity parts requiring superior mechanical properties. Production volumes from 5,000 to millions of parts per year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats do you accept?

We accept STEP (.step, .stp), IGES (.iges, .igs), DWG, DXF, PDF, and STL files. 3D models are preferred for accurate quoting.

What is the typical lead time?

Prototype orders can ship in as few as 2–3 business days. Production orders typically ship within 5–15 business days depending on quantity and complexity.

Do you offer design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback?

Yes. Every RFQ receives a free DFM review. Our engineers will flag potential issues and suggest cost-saving modifications before production begins.
