International MIM Manufacturer Chooses Ipsen Again for 17th and 18th Vacuum Furnaces
Ipsen USA has recently announced that an international leader in metal injection molding (MIM) again chose Ipsen to supply furnaces capable of both debinding and sintering.

During those years, engineers with the manufacturer and engineers with Ipsen (Cherry Valley, IL) have had open conversations regarding process and furnace design, working to perfect product functionality.
“When this relationship started a decade ago, I did not anticipate how much we would learn from each other,” says Ipsen Group CEO Geoffrey Somary. “After all these years, we still enjoy a collaborative exchange of ideas, which supports this customer’s drive to deliver excellence across hundreds of part variations.”
Many MIM parts producers rely on lab-size furnaces for post-processing. Ipsen’s customer, however, requires a workhorse that can handle large-volume, demanding applications. Ipsen’s rugged furnaces are distinguished by a work zone volume of 36 × 36 × 48 in. (915 × 915 × 1,220 mm), a load capacity of 3,000 lbs. (1,360 kg), and a right-sized filtration system, equipment suited for full-scale continuous production.
