MIM and die casting are complementary rather than competing processes. The choice is primarily driven by material requirements and secondarily by part size and volume. If your part requires stainless steel, specialty alloys, or complex geometry in a small form factor, MIM is the solution. If your part requires aluminum or zinc at high volume with competitive per-part cost, die casting is the right path.
If you are evaluating which process is right for your part, our engineering team can provide a side-by-side assessment.
