Updated: May 16

 
Metal

You can rely on Regulus to take your metal parts from raw materials to finished products with precision and efficiency. We specialize in a variety of advanced manufacturing processes, including Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Sintering (Powder Mettalurgy), and Lost Wax Casting, to meet diverse requirements for metal components. Whether your project demands the intricate detail achievable through MIM, the strength and integrity offered by sintering, or the classic finesse of lost wax casting, we can provide the suitable material and production process to fit your design and project needs.


Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
