What We Do

01
ISO-Pressing

Using hot and cold isostatic pressing, we create uniform, near-net shapes with high density, perfect for complex and precision parts.

02
Extrusion

We extrude high-purity alumina fused silica and steatite to produce tubes and rods, meeting the precise demands of aerospace, medical, and electronics industries.

03
Sintering

Our sintering process ensures optimal material strength and minimal porosity by controlling temperature and atmosphere, enhancing part durability.

04
Raw Powder Processing

We formulate our raw materials to control quality and ensure optimal performance. This includes ball milling, mixing and spray drying.

05
Dry Pressing

This process allows us to produce billions of miniature components, with intricate details, in an economical manner.

06
Green Machining

We shape ceramics in their unfired state to reduce machining costs, improve accuracy, and streamline production timelines.

07
Hard Grinding

Through CNC and conventional grinding, we achieve tight tolerances and smooth surface finishes, refining complex geometries with precision.
