Acelent started development on a new MIM cellphone hinge with a MNC located in China. There were other MIM components in the next generation designs. The customer was keen to move on to stainless steel MIM hinge to give their end-users better quality and distinctive executive appeal. In addition, the customer needed the high volume and complex geometry capabilities to help them scale up to meet the increasing demand. |

Acelent was awarded the Highly Commended EPMA 2007 Award of Excellence in the International category in the Euro PM2007 International Congress in Toulouse, France. This was for a copper coldplate made through its copperMIM (copper metal injection molding) process. The challenge was injecting the approximately 300 pins through a thin copper base. Thermal conductivity of more than 300 W/mK was achieved. |

Acelent started production run of copper coldplates used for overclocking CPUs in gaming computers. The complexity of the coldplate design was a challenge even for MIM process. There were almost 300 pins to be injection-molded. Amid rising copper price, the MIM process was able to maintain an edge in terms of cost and quality. Acelent had made inroads into the thermal management industry with several thermal projects in the pipeline. |
