A feedstock delivery system for injection molding includes a vessel unit that includes a vessel with an internal volume and an inlet for receipt of a feedstock. First and second dispensing units are alternatively connectable to the vessel unit and each include first and second ends, first and second valves, and a buffer chamber. The first end is connectable to the dispensing unit such that the buffer chamber is in communication with the internal volume of the vessel. The second end is connectable to an injection mold and defines an outlet of the feedstock delivery system. The outlet is in communication with the buffer chamber, and the buffer chamber is positioned between the first and second valves. The buffer chamber of the first dispensing unit defines a first chamber volume, and the buffer chamber of the second dispensing unit defines a second chamber volume greater than the first chamber volume.

Injection molding feedstock delivery system

A method comprising molding a first component from a first feedstock comprising a first material powder and a first binder, molding a second component from a second feedstock comprising a second material powder and a second binder, placing the first component and the second component in physical communication with each other in order to form an assembled component, removing the first binder and the second binder from the assembled component and performing a sintering operation on the assembled component so as to bond the first component and the second component together.
