ATMIK Metal Materials Co., Ltd. (ATMIK), a leading metal injection molding (MIM) manufacturer in China with over 30 years of MIM production experience, will exhibit at the 27th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE 2026) from September 9-11, 2026 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center. The company will showcase its MIM precision components and integrated manufacturing capabilities for the optoelectronic and optical communication industries at Booth 11B66-1.
Exhibition Overview
CIOE 2026 is Asia's premier optoelectronic trade fair, covering 260,000 square meters of exhibition space with over 4,000 exhibitors and an expected 150,000 professional visitors from more than 30 countries. The event spans eight themed exhibition zones including information communication, precision optics, laser and intelligent manufacturing, infrared technology, smart sensing, and optoelectronic innovation.
For ATMIK, CIOE represents a strategic platform to demonstrate how metal injection molding technology enables the precision metal components essential to modern optoelectronic systems — from fiber optic connector housings and optical module enclosures to sensor bases and micro-optical alignment structures.

- Debinding and sintering — catalytic debinding lines plus continuous and vacuum sintering furnaces
- Secondary operations — CNC machining, heat treatment, surface finishing, and PVD coating
- Quality certifications — IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485
ATMIK serves the automotive, medical, consumer electronics, aerospace, and optical communication industries with over 20 active material grades including 316L, 17-4PH, 420 stainless steel, Fe-2Ni, Permalloy, copper alloys, and titanium Ti6Al4V.
Exhibition Highlights
At CIOE 2026, ATMIK will present its MIM manufacturing solutions for the optoelectronic and optical communication sectors:
| Product / Capability | Key Features | Target Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber optic connector housings (SMA, FC, SC, LC) | 316L stainless steel, ±0.3% tolerance, precision bore alignment, corrosion-resistant passivation | Optical network infrastructure, data centers, 5G base stations |
| Optical module enclosures and structural components | Complex 3D geometry, thin-wall design (0.5-0.8 mm), EMI shielding capability | 100G/400G/800G optical transceivers, active optical cables |
| Sensor housings for photonic systems | Non-magnetic 316L option, internal cavity complexity, sealing surface flatness | Optical power monitors, wavelength lockers, photodetector assemblies |
| Precision alignment bushings and sleeves | Sub-millimeter tolerance control, CTE-matched material options, high wear resistance | Fiber alignment, collimator assemblies, planar lightwave circuit packaging |
| MIM copper and W-Cu thermal management parts | High thermal conductivity (180-400 W/m·K), CTE matching to ceramics and silicon | Optical module heat sinks, laser diode submounts, thermoelectric cooler integration |
| Custom MIM components for optical equipment | Full DFM support, material selection guidance, rapid prototyping to volume production | Lidar housings, spectroscopy systems, medical optical instruments |
Why MIM for Optical Communication Components
The optical communication industry demands precision metal components that meet increasingly stringent requirements for bandwidth, density, and reliability. MIM technology offers distinct advantages:
- Miniaturization without compromise — complex 3D connector geometries with wall thickness down to 0.3 mm and fine-pitch alignment features molded directly
- High-volume scalability — multi-cavity tooling (8-32 cavities) producing hundreds of thousands of identical components per month
- Material consistency — in-house powder production ensures batch-to-batch dimensional repeatability critical for optical alignment
- Cost efficiency at scale — 50-70% cost reduction compared to CNC machining for complex geometries at production volumes above 10,000 parts per year
