MIM as a production technology is particularly suitable for the automotive sector due to the high volumes involved. But AM also has a clear place here thanks to its many advantages. The fields of application for both technologies are particularly where, due to the high degree of design freedom, material can be saved and/or functions can be integrated. MIM enables lightweight construction like no other process. Another application is highly stressed components, as high-performance materials can be processed here that cannot be machined with other processes, or only with great effort. Parts for high-pressure fuel injection systems or components that are exposed to high temperatures, such as turbocharger blades, are also particularly suitable for our manufacturing technologies. Another field of application is cosmetic parts for the interior. Here, the freeform surfaces and decorative surfaces, which no other process can offer, can be realised, MIM and AM parts are also excellently suited as inserts for highly stressed plastic parts.
MIMplus is an established supplier to the aerospace industry, especially for fasteners and interior components. Our processes (MIM / AM) enable constructive lightweight construction through the special variety of available materials, such as titanium. Applications with high thermal loads and complicated geometries, such as in the engine sector, are also predestined applications for our core technologies.
MIMplus' entry into medical technology dates back to 1996. Since then, the business field has been continuously expanded and was supplemented by additive manufacturing in 2021. Today, MIM and AM parts are sold worldwide and are used in a wide variety of applications. These range from applications in dental technology and diagnostics to components for surgical hand instruments and surgical robotics. MIMplus has faced up to the constantly growing demands in medical technology and today offers precision solutions from its own machine park. These range from simple mechanical reworking of metal parts to the most complex machining processes and assemblies.
MIMplus Technologies is a subsidiary of OBE Holding, which can look back on over a hundred years of tradition in precision mechanics. Our processes (MIM / AM) are ideally suited for small, high-precision components. Often, several individual parts that were previously manufactured conventionally can be combined into a single part. Our current portfolio includes parts for the following industries like plant engineering, sensor technology, lock and locking technology, small electrical appliances and the professional do-it-yourself sector.
Located close to the “Golden City” of Pforzheim, MIMplus focuses specifically on exclusive goods with the highest surface requirements. We offer an extensive portfolio of surface finishing and work in partnership with professional suppliers to provide the services that we are not fully exploiting ourselves. Therefore, a number of our excellent-quality components relate to jewelry sector as well as to consumer goods sector, for example mobile phones and tablets. MIMplus is particularly attractive for these sectors due to its high production depth and the nickel-free materials offered.
