Do you need a suitable shaping method for your product, or do you have a shaping method that you wish to optimize?
We have a wide range of equipment for carrying out various shaping processes. The ceramic shaping processes can be divided into the basic types of pressing, plastic shaping, and casting. Because the differences between the shaping methods are significant, it is important to select a method that satisfies the requirements and is compatible with the properties of the ceramic product. We draw on a wealth of experience to select the shaping method according to the desired end properties of your ceramic. We would also be happy to advise you on product development with the help of innovative shaping methods.
axial dry pressing is the most economically efficient method. Complex geometries (recesses) can only be realized in the pressing direction. If production requires chip-forming machining of the green bodies, cold isostatic pressing is recommended for preparing uniformly densified blanks. We provide consulting on optimization of your pressing process or design of special press dies for producing your parts.
of complexly shaped parts. We have extensive experience in the extrusion of ceramic feedstocks and can assist you in developing components made of silicate ceramics or advanced ceramics. We can also offer expertise in the area of thermoplastic shaping. For injection molding at low pressure (hot casting) or high pressure, we are your partners for all tasks from preparation and characterization of thermoplastic masses to shaping.
of samples of complex geometry (hot or injection molding) or very thin, flat components (tape casting). Our capabilities range from conventional slip casting of silicate ceramic products to hot casting or tape casting of advanced ceramics. We develop the process for your product and support you from the slurry and/or mass development up to the optimized casting process.
