【Why Titanium Alloy Components?】
Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in medical applications, but their poor machinability and high reactivity make conventional processing difficult.
Our goal is to overcome these challenges while meeting the demand for high-precision medical components.
【Benefits of MIM for Titanium】
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) enables the high-precision forming of complex components while minimizing secondary machining.
By reducing exposure to reactive environments during processing, MIM allows better control of titanium’s reactivity, enabling the production of dense, high-quality components.
Porous structures can also be produced depending on application requirements.
These advantages support improved functionality, alternative manufacturing approaches, and higher quality in titanium medical components.
【Remaining Challenges】
For certain critical medical device components, no existing manufacturing method had fully met the required performance characteristics.
This development opens new possibilities for titanium components in medical applications, and further evaluation is ongoing toward practical implementation.
