This summer, MimecriUSA commissioned a new liquid penetrant inspection line at its plant in Thomasville, Georgia, strengthening the quality-control capabilities of the group’s U.S. facility. The milestone is also a story of shared know-how. In June, the U.S. team completed hands-on training at the group’s plant in Spain, and that expertise is now applied every
In sectors like defense and sport shooting, precision isn’t just a performance goal. It’s a requirement. Whether for an optical system in a submarine or a rear sight on a competition-grade rifle, each metal component must deliver consistent accuracy, surface quality, and durability. At Ecrimesa Group, we design and manufacture parts that meet these standards
At Ecrimesa Group, simulation and prototyping are not just tools—they are essential steps in the development of new components through investment casting.
In a sector where precision is not an option but a strict requirement, metal components must meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. At Ecrimesa Group, we have been manufacturing parts for critical industries like aerospace for over 60 years, complying with the most demanding technical requirements and international certifications. Manufacturing technologies ready
As part of its strong commitment to industrial innovation, MIMECRISA has launched an ambitious R&D&I project in collaboration with the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), with the support of the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI). Officially classified as a Research and Development project, the initiative aims to position MIMECRISA at the forefront
The evolution of Investment Casting: the parts since the beginning of the company, when each technology is best applied, the basic rules and tips to keep in mind.
Investment casting is one of the oldest metal manufacturing technologies still in use, yet it remains one of the most reliable methods for producing complex, high-precision components. With origins tracing back to 4,000 BC, it has evolved into a modern process capable of meeting the most demanding standards across aerospace, automotive, medical, and defense sectors.
Although investment casting is a well-established industrial technology, its potential continues to expand, particularly in producing larger, more complex, and high-performance metal components. In recent years, the process has evolved considerably thanks to advances in materials, simulation tools, and manufacturing equipment. Balancing volume, quality, and complexity Today’s market reflects a dual trend in investment casting.
We introduce you to Investment Casting and MIM as the techologies we apply within the Medical Industry.
At Ecrimesa Group, innovation is a key pillar to ensure maximum precision and cost-effectiveness across our processes. For over 15 years, we have integrated simulation tools into our manufacturing technologies, allowing us to improve production efficiency and deliver more effective solutions to our customers. As part of this ongoing improvement strategy, we implemented SIGMASOFT at
Summary of the different properties of the MIM and its various utilities in Ecrimesa.
The last December number of PIM International magazine, includes a Case Study prepared by our technical director, Manuel Caballero. In the article, Manuel Caballero reviews a conversion process in which a die-cast zinc hinge set is redesigned for production with MIM in 316L stainless steel, improving significantly mechanical properties. Die casting is a widely used

What is additive manufacturing? Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing or rapid prototyping, is the fabrication of metal parts by using a 3D model and applying several layers of material to it. Fabricating metal parts through additive manufacturing has become one of the most interesting technologies of the sector throughout the last decade –
Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a suitable technology to fabricate small or medium-sized pieces with complex geometry. A variety of materials can be used (stainless steels, low-alloy steels, soft magnetic, tooling steel or ceramic materials). MIM combines the technique and versatility of plastic injection with sintering in order to fabricate metal pieces with high density
