Metal
Injection Molding (MIM) Process (Step
3)
The green parts are placed in a low temperature oven. The oven is then heated to remove most of the binders from the part by evaporation. When the process is complete it leaves behind a "brown" metal part. Because of the complex run profile of temperature ramps and soak times, the process is microprocessor controlled.

3 |
 |
| Component: Curved Scissor Blades |
| Challenge:
To develop a coining process that would produce consistent dimensions throughout the length of the curved blade thus assuring blade interference for cutting efficacy.
|
| Solution:
Use of controls, including SPC, to step up and maintain coining and monitor of the coining process.
