This 2025 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Grand Prize winner is an optical module housing. This groundbreaking design prioritizes efficient heat conduction and dissipation. Crafted from a proprietary copper-based alloy, the housing features robust walls that, while enhancing performance, present unique manufacturing challenges such as extended de-binding times and potential de-lamination risks.
