A method for manufacturing a part includes metal injection molding of metal powder mixed with a binder to produce individual components of the part as separately molded green compact sections which are then debindered to form brown compact sections. At least one of the brown compact sections is subjected to a pre-sintering process to undergo a first shrinkage. The pre-sintered brown compact section and a further brown compact section are joined together to form a multi-part brown compact which is subsequently subjected to a main sintering process, where the pre-sintered brown compact section undergoes less shrinkage than the further brown compact section to draw together and firmly connect the pre-sintered brown compact section and the further brown compact section.
