Injection Moulding
Ceramic cores are manufactured by medium pressure injection moulding. This gives an extremely dimensionally accurate and consistent product. CIC material shrinkage can be fine tuned to suit customers’ existing tools.
CIC can offer a full tooling package and engineering support. The medium pressure process combined with CIC’s unique binder system results in very low tool wear rates – lifetimes of 50,000 to 100,000 for hardened steel tools are normal depending on geometry.
CIC has a range of press sizes suitable for cores ranging from a few grams to over 10 kg.
