MIM (metal injection molding)

Has anyone heard of this?
It was described to me as plastic coated metal particles, which are
injection molded. The result is considered a green part, which is fired to
make a solid metal part. The metal used include titanium and other hard
stuff.
There is large shrinkage and warping on firing, but software predicts this
so the mold is made prewarped so it finishes up in the desired shape.

If it could be made to come out of an inkjet type nozzle, what fun we could
have!
