Machined to MIM Conversion
A leading company that creates Orthopedic Surgical Devices
This company needed a new solution to create its previously fully machined part for orthopedic surgical devices. The machining process led to massive waste and a longer than desired lead time to produce the finished product. With rising demand for the item, the customer needed to find a way to produce the product quicker, with less cost and waste. Company X brought MPP a finished part to see what we could do to create a blank using MIM.

With rising demand for the item, the customer needed to find a way to produce the product quicker, with less cost and waste. Company X brought MPP a finished part to see what we could do to create a blank using MIM.
This company chose to work with MPP because of our ability to produce MIM components at a larger scale. While this program was a lower volume than many MIM houses would have taken on, MPP recognized the complexity of the part and need to support a customer such as this. We evaluated the finished part and drawing and were able to develop an MIM blank that reduced machining time and offered substantial cost savings.
Quality and Functionality
Converting the process to MIM was able to produce a blank that resulted in 75% less machining time, ultimately allowing the customer to increase production on this part and supply more to their end customer, all while upholding the quality and functionality of the part.
