The mass production of micro parts is an important step towards the fabrication of integrated micro systems in large scale. Powder injection molding allows to produce parts not only in high quantity but also with reduced or even without finishing. The presented results show that the production of micro parts even in the sub‐millimeter range is possible with this process when specially designed feedstocks, an adapted tool concept and optimized post processing are used.
