When is MIM a good fit?
MIM may fit small, complex 3D metal parts when geometry consolidation and repeat volume justify tooling. Material, distortion risk, critical datums and secondary finishing still need drawing-level review.
Custom metal components for OEM programs, made to your drawing. We review MIM, powder metallurgy, gears and secondary machining against your geometry, material, quantity and critical requirements.

Read the guide →From gears and bushings to bolts, hinges and compact mechanisms, SINTS produces metal components to customer drawings. Engineering support covers tooling, forming, secondary operations and inspection.
The Zhongshan and Jiangxi production bases provide about 45,000 m² of combined manufacturing area. For new programs, the engineering discussion starts with part function, geometry, material, critical datums, load or wear conditions, annual demand and the surfaces that may need secondary control.
Real equipment, real parts, and manufacturing resources across Zhongshan and Jiangxi — with Zhongshan as the principal SINTS site for PM, MIM and inspection.

Send a 2D drawing or 3D CAD file with material, annual volume, application, critical dimensions, finish, inspection requirements and target timing whenever available.
Yes. Dimensional reports, material confirmation, FAI, PPAP and other quality documentation can be planned when required by the drawing or customer program.
Each stage is defined by the drawing, tooling route and customer approval requirements rather than by a universal lead-time promise.
Send the drawing or CAD file with material, annual volume, application context and critical requirements.
Engineering reviews process fit, manufacturability, tooling assumptions, secondary operations and missing functional information.
Trial timing, dimensional inspection and customer-required approval documentation are confirmed with the project plan.
Repeat production follows the approved route, quality controls, packaging and shipment requirements agreed for the program.
