A start-up in Korea has created a new process to develop phone cases and keypads out of titanium. Titanium is a difficult metal to work with, which makes it expensive to use, but it is lightweight, resistant to rust and is very strong. The company, MTIG, made a new metal injection molding technique that uses powdered titanium and heating, rather than casting and cutting, to make parts. The new technique, which the company has been working on since 2004, negates the need for specialized equipment. This will drastically cut down on the cost of manufacturing titanium parts and components. MTIG will be able to ramp up production of titanium parts by July.
