Injection molding of wood powder with sucrose. Credit: University of Electro-Communications Biomass materials such as wood are environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil resources. As an example, ...

In the right applications, powder injection molding (PIM) can turn out metal parts that perform better and cost less than those produced through traditional metal manufacturing processes. But what ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...
