Michael Wiseman, Vice President of Engineering of ARC Group Worldwide, accepted an Award of Distinction in the Medical/Dental category for Metal Injection Molded (MIM) components of the 2022 Powder Metallurgy Design Excellence Awards Competition. The award was given for an impaction handle lever, a single-use-instrument used in knee-replacement surgery.

MIM is one of the powder metallurgy-based technologies that forms metal powders into precision components used in applications such as auto engines and transmissions, hardware, industrial machinery, sporting goods, defense, and firearms.
The competition is sponsored annually by the Metal Powder Industries Federation, an international trade association for the metal powder producing and consuming industries.
