Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a type of additive manufacturing process. In FDM melted material is deposited selectively in a pre-determined path layer by layer to build a model. The challenge in this project is to use metal injection molding feedstock in FDM. It is basically a hybrid mix between Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Additive Manufacturing (powder metallurgy). This can be used by individuals as well as industries. In this research several topics of the MIM process were studied to understand how the feedstock is prepared using metal powder mixed with polymerwax binder. The experimental study was done on aluminium powder feedstock by varying the percentage of powder content in the mixture. The extruder design, the extrusion temperature, nozzle size and shape. It was obtained from the results that why powder loading should be higher and suitable extrusion temperature for stable flow.
