“…P/M process is well suited for manufacturing small and tiny components in large numbers especially by Powder Injection Moulding [2], an off-shoot of plastic injection moulding. In addition, other fabrication techniques such as Micro powder injection moulding (µ PIM) [3], Semisolid Powder Processing [4], Low pressure injection moulding (LPIM) [5], Nano powder injection moulding (NPIM) [6], Rapid Proto Typing (RPT) [7], Micro sacrificial plastic mould insert PIM (µ-SPiPIM) [8], Co-powder injection moulding (2C-PIM) [9], Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) [10], Selective Laser Melting (SLM) [11], Laser Micro Sintering (LMS) [12], Electron Beam Melting (EBM) [13] and Nano Forging by FIB/SEM [14] have been adopted to fabricate micro and nano sized components. This paper will discuss the above processes explaining the principle, the equipment used along with specific examples.…”
