Sintering is an interesting option for micro manufacturing; I am not familiar with the current sintering possibilities. What I have found, is that lots should be bigger to be cost effective - monthly volumes around 100 000.
Also offered raw surface finish seems to be close but not enough without secondary smoothing operation. In addition to that there are ejector marks, differences related to stress tolerance and wearing.
