Abstract
Research tasks at ENSMM/LMA are focused on the development of mixtures of very fine powders (5μm size) associated to polymer binders dedicated to the micro powder injection moulding (μPIM) in accordance with many works already carried out with different feedstock suppliers dedicated to the macro-components.
