Secondary Operations
To minimize the cost of secondary operations, the general tolerance guidelines in this design guide should be applied. Should a feature require a tighter tolerance than the MIM process can offer, a secondary metalworking operation can be performed. Kinetics' MIM material can be machined, tapped, drilled, broached, sized, ground, or welded like its wrought material counter-part. When annual volume requirements are high enough, Kinetics develops fully automated secondary operations to minimize the part cost of these added process steps.
