Micro Parts Manufacturing Technology

WANTS Corporation develops and produces ultra-precision micro parts and modules through Micro PIM / Micro PM processes based on raw material control technology.

Micro PM

WANTS proprietary technology combining the economic efficiency of powder metallurgy (PM) and the high-density complex shape realization of PIM. Performs fine powder mixing, molding, and sintering processes by applying Modal Hybrid Powder (composite powder control).

Advantages

Secures high density and mechanical properties + excellent cost competitiveness
Balance of shape freedom and productivity
Cost reduction and quality innovation compared to MIM/PM
Minimizes post-processing work

Applications

Ultra-compact precision parts such as U-SIM Tray, Laptop Hinge, Guitar String Parts, ultra-compact mechanisms for smartphones and wearable devices
