[A] process derived from plastic injection moulding, [which] is used in the large-scale production of components with complex shapes. 1, record 1, English, - metal%20powder%20injection%20moulding
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Injection-moulded components are very close to their final (or near-net) shape; hence, it is an appropriate production method to produce metallic parts, such as titanium alloys, that cannot be easily machined. Additionally, MPIM is a low-cost process because scrap and secondary processing operations are minimized. 1, record 1, English, - metal%20powder%20injection%20moulding

Ce type de moulage convient donc à la fabrication de pièces en alliages de titane et d'autres pièces métalliques qui ne peuvent être usinées facilement. En outre, [il] est peu dispendieux parce que les résidus de métaux et les activités de transformation secondaires sont réduits au maximum. 1, record 1, French, - moulage%20par%20injection%20de%20poudre%20m%C3%A9tallique
