Seven things you didn’t know were made by MIM…

Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a manufacturing process that involves manipulating powders to behave like a plastic by mixing them with polymer binders to form a feedstock, which is then used to produce intricate and complex 3D shapes.

We recently had the pleasure of having Ellie Leonard complete a week of work experience with us.

Being a budding scientist herself, it was a privilege to show Ellie the process and science behind both MIM and 3D printing.

Ellie said: “It was inspiring learning about the manufacturing process and the whole team at CMG made me feel very welcome and involved.”

At CMG Technologies, we're all about pushing the boundaries with Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) in the automotive world.

Fine powders used throughout the MIM process help achieve a high-end finish, creating aesthetically perfect products at ease. Usually, companies seeking this technology would need to source it from overseas to save costs. However, our entirely in-house service means we can provide UK companies with a quality service at a similar, if not lower, cost.

To mark International Women in Engineering Day, we caught up with Managing Director, Rachel Garrett, and a few members of her team who are helping to inspire women around the world to enter the sector.

Rachel said: “Everyone in the industry works for the same goal – crafting new creations or finding solutions to problems through the power of technology. It’s a collaborative workforce of people who all want to see each other achieve.

“I would love to see more women join it, especially young people.”

Based in Rendlesham, we are the UK's only specialists in metal injection moulding (MIM) – a manufacturing method for metal used to produce precise, complex parts in large quantities with low waste.

That has seen us work with businesses around the world – using Suffolk brains, Suffolk machinery and Suffolk supplies to create innovative solutions for our clients.

CMG plays an active role in making sure Suffolk’s engineering and manufacturing heritage remains at the forefront of innovation – and we couldn't be prouder.

We are wishing the King a very Happy Birthday! Will you be watching the parade today?

Last year, we printed a bust of His Majesty using our CMG Tech-X 316L stainless steel filament on a 3DGence MP260x printer. We used a 0.5mm nozzle at a temperature of 135°C before debinding the part in acetone for 24 hours.

It was then sintered at 1265°C before undergoing tumble and magnetic polishing, resulting in this fantastic bust.

Our team can create intricate parts for anything from machinery to decorative busts like these with great precision and quality.

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week and as the theme this year is ‘movement’, we thought it would be fitting to highlight our four-day working week.

At CMG we believe a good work-life balance makes for a happier, more motivated team and the extra day gives our team the chance to go out with their family, go on a walk in the Suffolk countryside or spend a sunny day in the garden – even if they are a rarity!

Rachel Garrett: “It has absolutely transformed life for our employees – creating significantly lower job stress and helping them strike a better work-life balance."

What would you do with an extra day?
