“MIM and AM manufacturing processes compliments each other and both have their specific advantages. MIM is great for mass production while AM is great for quick limited production runs. A similar traits from both processes is both have the capacity to produce intricate products. Hence they are two of the most effective manufacturing processes which complements each other while having the greatest potential in-terms of future development. I really like the fact that formnext and PM South China has joined forces to host the first edition of Formnext + PM South China next September. I really look forward to learning how AM and PM processes will develop and merge with the maturity of both technologies.”
