The global automotive landscape is undergoing a fundamental structural transformation, characterized by the dual trends of electrification and component miniaturization. As Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles give way to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), the demand for traditional, bulky engine components is being replaced by a need for smaller, high-precision, and multifunctional metal parts. Metal Injection Molding (MIM) has emerged as the critical enabler for this shift, as it allow for the production of intricate geometries in materials like 316L and 17-4PH that would be prohibitively expensive to machine. The drive for
