The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate the capability to produce components using metal injection molding (MIM) technology, including alloy systems and material processes, to yield properties that exceed performance requirements and provide a lower cost alternative than that of competing metalworking processes. Specific goals include:

• evaluate component designs and develop appropriate raw-material formulations and process parameters
• use mold-flow analysis software to optimize the part design for the MIM process
• use simulation software to optimize the sintering process to achieve higher densities

If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.

Interested Submissions Due by 10-22-24.

We encourage participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), including Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs).
