Metal Injection Molding
Complex MIM Parts for Various Surgical Applications
Cadence offers a dedicated facility for Metal Injection Molding (MIM) located in DeLand, Florida. This capability is another cost-effective method for our customers to increase volume production as their products reach scale.
Metal Injection Molding provides miniaturization without compromise and allows for the production of extremely small, intricate parts with tight tolerances—ideal for surgical instruments, endoscopic components, and implantable devices. Wall thicknesses down to 0.2mm and complex internal geometries can be achieved without secondary machining.
MIM supports high-performance materials like 17-4PH and 316L stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt-chrome, offering excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. These materials meet ASTM and ISO standards for medical applications.
Engineers value process reliability. MIM delivers consistent part-to-part performance at high volumes, reducing variation and ensuring regulatory compliance, especially important for critical Class II and Class III components.
We are a leading contract manufacturer, providing complex MIM parts for various surgical applications, as well as:
- Energy-based device components and sub-assemblies
- Cleanroom plastic injection molding, assembly, and packaging
- Overmolding, potting, and electrical testing
- Full suite of secondary operations (machining, EDM, heat treating, etc.)
Cadence leverages metal injection molding to produce highly complex, miniature components for a wide range of medical applications, where precision and biocompatibility are paramount. We’ve manufactured miniaturized, high-strength jaws for laparoscopic surgical tools, meeting precise actuation tolerances required for minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical procedures. In the field of ophthalmology, MIM has allowed us to deliver tool components with exceptionally smooth surface finishes straight from the mold—eliminating the need for secondary processing. Additionally, for orthopedic devices, we’ve supported the high-volume production of robust locking features that demand exact dimensional repeatability to ensure consistent performance in surgical settings.
The medical device community requires smaller components for various procedures, and that means tighter tolerances, thinner walls, and more precise features that are possible with MIM. The metal injection molding capability also helps OEMs with cost savings projects that reduce part count, improves mechanical properties, and reduces the cost of items that require recurring replacement or maintenance.
Cadence combines advanced metal injection molding with integrated manufacturing capabilities to deliver precise, high-performance components for today’s most demanding medical devices. From surgical tools to implantable systems, we help OEMs accelerate development, reduce costs, and achieve consistent quality at scale.
