Metal Injection Molding Components at SPIE 2026 – Hall F Booth 4016

XY-GLOBAL is excited to exhibit at SPIE Photonics West 2026, one of the world’s most influential events for photonics, optics, imaging, and laser technology. During the exhibition, our team will highlight our expertise in Metal Injection Molding (MIM) — a precision manufacturing process ideal for producing small, complex, high-strength metal components.

Visit us at Hall F — Booth 4016 to explore how our MIM solutions support optical devices, laser modules, biomedical instruments, and advanced sensing systems.

⭐ Why MIM Matters for Photonics and Optical Applications

Modern optical and photonics equipment demands components that are:

• Highly precise

• Structurally stable

• Miniaturized

• Complex in geometry

• Reliable in high-volume production

Traditional machining can be costly for micro-sized parts, and die casting struggles with thin-wall or intricate designs.
MIM overcomes these limitations by forming complex metal structures in one shot with excellent batch consistency.

This makes MIM ideal for:

• Optical assemblies

• Laser and illumination devices

• Biomedical imaging systems

• Sensor modules

• Micro-mechanical structures

🔧 Key MIM Components We Will Display at SPIE 2026

XY-GLOBAL will bring a selection of MIM-produced parts, including:

• Internal components for optical housings

High-coaxiality structures used for lens alignment and optical path control.

• Laser/LD module metal brackets

High-strength components available in stainless steel, tool steel, and titanium alloys.

• Sensor brackets and precision mounts

Stable, repeatable parts for high-volume integration.

• Micro gears and transmission components

Ideal for medical imaging equipment and compact automation systems.

• Medical-grade MIM parts (ISO 13485 supported)

Connectors, locking components, and micro tools designed for demanding medical environments.

🔬 MIM Manufacturing Process at XY-GLOBAL

Our standardized MIM workflow ensures high-quality and repeatable results:

1️⃣ Feedstock Preparation — fine metal powder and binders mixed uniformly
2️⃣ Injection Molding — net-shape forming of complex geometries
3️⃣ Debinding — controlled binder removal without deforming the part
4️⃣ Sintering — high-temperature densification reaching 96–99% theoretical density
5️⃣ Secondary Machining (if required) — grinding, turning, or drilling
6️⃣ Surface Finishing — PVD, plating, bead blast, polishing, passivation, etc.

Typical XY-GLOBAL MIM performance:

• Dimensional tolerance: ±0.3% – ±0.5%

• Density: up to 7.6–7.8 g/cm³ (Fe-based)

• Surface roughness: Ra 0.8–1.6 μm

• Excellent consistency for 10k to 1,000,000+ pcs production

🚀 Applications of MIM in Photonics & Imaging

At SPIE 2026, we will demonstrate how MIM enables high-performance lightweight structures in:

✔ Optical alignment components
✔ Precision brackets for lenses or image sensors
✔ Laser module holders
✔ Micro-sized chassis and structural supports
✔ Locator pins and micro linkages
✔ Parts used in medical imaging & diagnostic devices

Benefits of choosing MIM:

• Much lower cost vs. CNC for mass production

• Ability to form extremely complex details

• Miniaturization-friendly

• High mechanical strength and stability
