Indo-MIM is a leading global supplier of precision-engineered medical components via metal injection moulding (MIM), precision machining and investment casting technologies. Our capabilities allow us to provide a full range of solutions for our medical customers from concept, to prototype, through high-volume manufacture.

Based in Bangalore, India, Indo-MIM provides cost-effective medical device manufacturing, engineering and integration services with uncompromising quality unmatched anywhere in the world. We achieve this through full integration of our processes, including product design, tool making, precision machining, heat-treating, surface treatments and analytical and testing laboratory capabilities. All of this is done in our modern, state-of-the-art facilities totalling more than 400,000 sq feet.

The metal injection moulding (MIM) process combines the design flexibility of plastic injection moulding with the strength and integrity of wrought metals to offer cost-effective solutions for highly complex part geometries. MIM is now recognised as the preferred solution to manufacture small, highly complex parts used in surgical devices such as endoscopic graspers and scissors, instrument bodies, scalpel handles, forceps, biopsy jaws and ablation electrodes.

MIM is an established and proven manufacturing technique for producing small, complex, tight-tolerance and high-performance metal parts. MIM is a cost-effective alternative to traditional metal forming techniques such as machining, investment casting, and powder metallurgy. MIM excels at applications that require shape complexity and material properties that cannot be fulfilled by plastic and light metal alloys. It offers tremendous single-step parts consolidation potential that makes it a competitive alternative to stamped / machined-parts assemblies. Many design and economic limitations of traditional metalworking technologies can be readily overcome by MIM.

Indo-MIM provides a wide variety of material solutions for surgical instruments, orthodontic appliances as well as orthopaedic implants. For instruments, high strength and wear combined with good corrosion resistance can be found in our 17-4PH, 420 and 440C grade stainless steels. Our 316L grade stainless steel is a popular choice for applications requiring high ductility with excellent corrosion properties.

For orthodontic appliances, we provide 17-4PH as well as Ni-Free grades of stainless steel. Orthopaedic implant applications are growing for MIM and we are here with a full range of material solutions including Co-Cr as well as titanium alloys with HIP processing for these critical applications. Besides our standard array of off-the-shelf solutions, Indo-MIM maintains a world-class materials laboratory to develop a custom solution for your most demanding product

For complex products in a size beyond the scope of MIM, Indo-MIM provides investment castings in a wide variety of metal alloys for parts up to 40kg. Our new 30,000ft² facility utilises the latest equipment in wax injection, shell making and induction pouring to produce castings of high precision and metallurgical integrity.

Our investment casting capabilities are the ideal way to produce components for complex surgical instruments in corrosion resistant, heat treatable stainless steels as well as orthopaedic implants in high strength cobalt-chromium alloys. Our investment casting operations are ISO-9001 and AS9100 registered and provide full capabilities for materials analysis, NDT and certification of our products.

Indo-MIM provides state-of-the-art precision machining capabilities to finish our MIM and investment cast products as well as to provide complex parts from wrought bar. We provide complete multi-axis CNC turning and milling, grinding, honing and wire / sinker EDM machining capabilities for micron tolerances to medical and aerospace quality standards. Coupled with our precision machining group are special process capabilities such as vacuum heat-treating and surface treatment options that are AS9100 and NADCAP certified.

Our core manufacturing capabilities provide a strong foundation to offer cost-effective, fully integrated medical devices and products from beginning to end. Our geographic location offers the ability to provide high-quality medical contract manufacturing services at very competitive costs that cover from prototype, to small run, through high-volume production.

Within our Class 100,000 cleanrooms, we are fully proficient at integration and packaging of complex medical assemblies to exacting standards. We have a full range of internal and external support capabilities including plastic injection moulding, insert moulding, LSM, metal forming, laser welding / cutting and sterilisation to provide a one-stop solution to your needs.

Our ISO-9000, ISO-13485 and AS-9100 registered quality systems combined with unparalleled speed and service has allowed Indo-MIM to become a preferred solutions provider to customers in more than 35 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Metal injection moulding (MIM) is an emerging manufacturing technology worldwide for small, complex, precise and net shape metal parts.

The drive for less invasive surgical techniques requires highly complex part geometries that are traditionally manufactured from wrought metal bar by costly multi-axis milling, turning and EDM techniques. Metal injection molding is now challenging these traditional metalworking processes as a viable and cost-effective alternative.

Indo-MIM provides industry-leading solutions for MIM medical device, orthopedic and orthodontic applications.

Medical Design & Manufacturing West 2016 (MD&M West 2016) is the world's largest medical OEM event.

Medtec China is one of the most important technology events for the medical device manufacturing industry in China, which is attended by global players.

Medix is considered one of Japan's premiere exhibitions concurrent with the M-Tech exhibition.

Medical Design & Manufacturing West (MD&M West) is the world's largest medical OEM event, which Indo-MIM is proud to be part of.

In a challenging economy, the manufacturing industry is facing stiff competition, which has made each of the manufacturing industries look at 'Innovation' as the way to get a competitive edge in the market place.

Indo-MIM is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the MD&M Exhibition and Conference 2012, which will be held 26-27 June 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Indo-MIM is a leading provider of metal injection moulding (MIM) solutions for a range of medical device, orthopedic and orthodontic applications.

Indo-MIM recently received the Export Award for the Best Exporter - Gold for the year 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 in the district category of Bangalore Rural from the Visvesvaraya Industrial Trade Centre (VITC), Bangalore.

MIM arms medical device makers with the ability to design unique products without the cost restrictions associated with conventional metal-forming techniques.
