The manufacturing method of resist film insert metal powder injection molding (MIM) namely Resist/μ-SpiMIM process has been proposed. The resist film made of PMMA polymer with numerous micro-holes was used as micro sacrificial plastic mold (SP-mold). A novel molding machine which could achieve to mold without pelletizing was also used to produce the green compacts with a high efficiency in experiment by using a small amount of feedstock. The feedstock prepared by pure copper powders with various particle sizes was injection-molded into the SP-mold and the sintered parts with micro-pillar structure were produced after debinding and sintering process. The effects of particle size on density, shape-transcription and surface roughness of those sintered parts were discussed. The decreasing of particle size results in a marked improvements of surface roughness, transcription and dimensional variation of sintered parts.
