FCT Ingenieurkeramik with its economical production technology is in the position to manufacture customized components with high complexity and narrow tolerances as prototype or in series production.
Diameters up to 450 mm and lengths up to 1300 mm are state of the art.
Powder compaction takes place via cold isostatic or uniaxial pressing of semi-finished parts and subsequent turning or milling treatment in green state as well as via conventional slip casting. Additionally also extrusion and injection molding are available.
