Abstract
To overcome the lack of micro manufacturing processes suitable for medium and large
scale production as well as to process high resistive materials a special variant of micro injection
molding is currently under development: micro powder injection molding (MicroPIM), which
already enables the manufacturing of finest detailed components with structure sizes down to a few
ten micrometer. In order to expand the scope of application of MicroPIM, tests are being conducted
with pure tungsten powders or tungsten alloy powders. As further improvement, micro twocomponent
injection molding allows, for example, the fabrication of micro components consisting
of two ceramic materials with different physical properties.
