Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
The Metal Injection Molding(MIM) process uses UltraFine®
powders and plastic binders
to cost effectively produce
small, complex parts for awide variety of
applications including:aerospace, automotive,
consumer goods,
dental tools, firearms,
and medical devices.
MIM results in net
shape parts withmechanical properties
nearly equivalent to cast and wrought
products and allows high production rates while holding
strict dimensional tolerances.

Ready to Meet Your Needs
A pioneer in the development and production of metal
powders, CPP offers a tremendous variety of alloys covering
nearly every application. Great pride is taken in our ability
to control the alloy’s chemistry and particle size to meetcustomers’ stringent requirements. Superb consistency isprovided within and between production lots.
Being the only major powder metals manufacturer withproduction facilities in both North America and Europe
enables CPP to supply customers in a timely and costeffective manner. Currently in place are one 450 kg and two
1000 kg furnaces in Bridgeville, PA, USA, a 1200 kg furnacein Woonsocket, RI, USA and twin 5500 kg furnaces inTorshalla, Sweden. This is one of the largest capacities forgas atomized powder available from any manufacturer.
Extensive research and development capabilities areavailable for developing new alloys to meet our customers’
needs including a 150 kg furnace in Reading, PA, USA.
Facilities include cover gas, vacuum, and air induction melt
furnaces which are capable of using a variety of gasses
for atomization depending upon the alloy being produced.
Certifications include ISO9001, AS9100, and NADCAP.

Producing metal powders for over 40 years, CPP has
hundreds of years of combined experience and is committed
to continuous manufacturing improvement. Strategic
relationships are often initiated with customers to develop
and supply new powder metal alloys in the exact
specification which best suits the requirements of theirapplication.

Laser engineered net shapes, laser sintering, andsimilar additive manufacturing technologies offer
significant cost savings and time reductions overtraditional manufacturing processes. These
technologies have been in use since the late 1980’s andtypically use CAD or similar programs to produce
prototypes, molds, and low volume production parts withpowder metals layer by layer until the net shape part iscompleted. Since the processes involve adding materials
rather than removal by machining or grinding, lesswaste is generated, thereby saving material costs.
Time is also saved as tooling is not required;parts can be produced directly from thedigital design data, resulting in
additional cost savings.
