HP Launches INDO-MIM Tech in India to Mass Produce Metal 3D Printer Parts for Healthcare

In the healthcare sector, this technology is expected to revolutionize the production of high-precision metal parts for medical equipment.

In a significant development, HP has introduced its innovative technology, Indo-MIM, in India, to enable large-scale production of metal 3D printer parts, particularly in the healthcare sector.

This is after the world’s leading metal injection molding (MIM) company, Indo-MIM, has operationalized HP’s two metal jet binder 3D printers for sectors including medical equipment.

These machines, installed at the Bengaluru facility of Indo-MIM, are set to cater to both domestic and international markets.

Partnership Goal

As part of a global partnership, Indo-MIM has invested in three cutting-edge HP Metal Jet S100 printers. Two of these advanced printers will provide localized support for Indian clients and expand production capabilities.

Savi Baveja, president of personalization & 3D printing, HP Inc, said “We are ready to transform the landscape of metal parts production in India by manufacturing locally and exporting worldwide. We are confident that by working together, we can drive innovation, boost adoption, and enhance India's presence in the global manufacturing arena.”

One of the printers will focus on new material development, while the other will drive application development and cater to customers in India, the Middle East, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region. The third printer has been installed at the Indo-MIM facility in Texas, USA.

In the healthcare sector, this technology is expected to revolutionize the production of high-precision metal parts for medical equipment.

The ability to produce these parts on a large scale could significantly enhance the efficiency and precision of medical equipment production, thereby potentially improving patient care.

“The acquisition of HP's Metal Jet S100 printers equips us with the latest technology, enables us to meet the growing demands of our customers with efficiency and precision, as well as expand the library of materials qualified on the HP printer platform," Krishna Chivukula Jr, CEO, Indo-MIM noted.

Through this partnership, HP's advanced technology enables Indo-MIM to create top-quality, consistent metal parts for both Indian and US markets.

With the latest 3D printing metal binder jet technology, HP helps Indo-MIM meet the rising demand for intricate metal parts, ready for large-scale production.

Together, HP and Indo-MIM are also testing new HP Metal Jet materials such as M2 tool steel. These new materials improve properties and precision, making metal 3D printing even better.

HP is a global technology leader that operates in more than 170 countries. It delivers a wide range of innovative and sustainable devices, services and subscriptions for personal computing, printing, 3D printing, hybrid work, gaming, and more.

INDO-MIM, on the other hand, is among the largest Metal Injection Molding company (MIM) with production plants in India, USA and UK with customers spread across North America, Europe, SEA and MEA regions.

In addition to MIM, INDO-MIM also caters to investment casting, Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) & precision machined components to Aerospace and medical device markets.
