I used to think that MIM was a competitor but now that I understand the limitations of MIM, I now know BMG and MIM address entirely different market needs. MIM is flawed by the inherent shrinkage that goes with the sintering process. When dimensions change more than 10%, it’s impossible to make a truly precision part. With BMG, you machine a die and you get a part that reflects the die exactly..

If MIM represents a technology jump from subtractive metal machining, BMG moulding is a quantum leap beyond.
