Manufacturing OEM Ceramic Parts of Complex Geometries
Producing a finished ceramic part quickly and efficiently requires processes yielding
shapes requiring little or no grinding or machining after their forming and firing. To achieve
this Ceramco combines the manufacturing technique:
near-net shaping and the process methods of power injection molding (PIM), or
lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) also called 3D printing. These methods are
described below.
Forming Process Methods
LPIM
Low Pressure Ceramic Injection Molding -Near-net shaped production
quantities* of 100 to 10,000 pieces annually.

HPIM
High Pressure Ceramic Injection Molding -Near-net shaped automated
production quantities* of 50,000 (or more) annually.
Learn more…
MicroPIM
High Pressure Ceramic Micro Injection Molding -Near-net shaped automated
production quantities* as small as 0.05 grams.

3D Printing, Additive Manufacturing
3D, Additive Manufacturing - Rapid
prototyping, with no tooling! Components and micro-components in production quantities*,
with the same quality as PIM.
