Abstract

The overview of MIM technology application (injection molding technologies for parts based on metal-powder compositions) as a method of manufacturing precision parts from metal-powder compositions is represented in this article. The features of the manufacturing of parts by additive technologies are also considered. The main stages of the technological process are given. Applied industries and using material statistic data are reflected. The focus was made on analyze of opportunity of application MIM technology in the manufacturing parts from titanium alloys.
