Sizes

• Less than 100 grams.
• Wall thicknesses < 0.5 inch.
• Wall thicknesses > 0.010 inch.

• CIM allows for complex features on all three axis.

• Most economical when designed ± 0.003 in. per linear inch of dimension.
• Tolerances as tight as ± 0.001 in. per linear inch can be achieved.
• Small dimensions tolerances of ± 0.0005 in. per linear inch can be held.

• From approx 95% to 99+% of full material density.

• Ceradyne can mold one part up to several thousand.
• The highest part quantities offer the best cost benefits.

• Alumina
• Zirconia

• CIM equals or exceeds other forming methods such as machining, pressing, slip casting, etc.
• The process yields a component with a fine grain structure, essentially fully dense, resulting in outstanding physical properties.
