Materials
Ceramic injection molding (CIM) combines plastic injection molding principles with ceramic powder technology to mass-produce intricate, high-strength components. Structural ceramics we mold include:
- Aluminum nitride and high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃)
- Zirconia (ZrO₂)
- Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) and silicon carbide (SiC)
Because we make our own feedstocks, properties such as bulk density, pore volume, pore size, and composition can be customized to your application.
Why Injection Molding vs. Casting or Extrusion
- Molding is a quick, efficient process — less than one minute forming time
- Easily automated and scaled up
- Very consistent microstructure throughout the part
- A highly cost-effective way to produce complex parts
Applications
Medical & Surgical
Laser tips for CO₂ laser systems, surgical tools, and biocompatible, sterilizable ceramic components.
Semiconductor
Nozzles and injector tubes molded from aluminum nitride and high-purity alumina.
Industrial
Crucibles for molten metal, alumina spinnerets for synthetic-fiber (textile) production, and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) substrate tubes.
