Mixing is the act of making feedstock for the injection molding process.

The mixing process starts with the selection of ceramic powders which have the chemical composition desired to produce the final product. We combine these powders at specific temperatures, with a proprietary thermoplastic binder system.

The mixture is then cooled to room temperature and granulated into pellets. These pellets, called "feedstock", are injected into the final mold. Runners and sprues can be reground and re-used.

Our in-house mixing equipment includes multi-size mixers suitable for experimental amounts up to large volumes. Provision is made for heating and control of temperature and atmosphere.
