Revolutionizing Dental Equipment: The Power of MIM Technology in Orthodontic Brackets and Handpiece Components

2025-07-27 18:30

How MIM Manufacturing is Transforming Dental Device Production?

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology has emerged as a game-changer in dental equipment manufacturing, offering   unparalleled precision for critical

components like orthodontic brackets and dental handpiece parts. As a leading MIM custom manufacturing specialist, we're at the forefront of this dental

technology revolution.


Precision Orthodontic Bracket Manufacturing

Beyond Traditional Limitations:

Conventional multi-step machining struggles with complex geometries while compromising consistency and cost-efficiency.


Our MIM Advantages:

  • Single-step micro-precision: 0.2mm features including self-ligating mechanisms molded intact

  • Advanced material solutions: Medical-grade 316L stainless steel & cobalt-chrome alloys (≥98% density)

  • Customization capabilities: Patient-specific designs for invisible aligners and complex cases

  • Proven results: Reduced production steps from 7 to 2 for one client, cutting costs by 60% while improving consistency


High-Performance Dental Handpiece Components

Industry Challenges:

Traditional CNC machining can't simultaneously address the demands of ultra-high RPM operation, sterilization resistance, and lightweight design.
