Technical Ceramics

With a specialty in miniaturization, China Equipment Parts injection molds, presses, machines and shapes a range of ceramic materials for custom applications that are ideally suited to this medium. Whether it’s a geometrically challenging component that requires specific mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, or it is a quick turn prototype for proof of concept and design evaluation, we engineer ceramic solutions to meet the most challenging specifications.

Parts typically range in size from 0.3mm (.0118”) up to larger shapes of 30mm (1.18”) with tolerances less than 5 -10μm (0.0002" - 0.0004").

Ceramic Injection Molding: CIM is an excellent and effective way of manufacturing precision components with complex designs and tight tolerances to the highest degree of repeatability and reproducibility. Molding allows engineers greater versatility and freedom in designing complex shaped components that are deemed too difficult, impractical or expensive to produce with traditional machining processes.

Rapid Prototyping: Our ability to produce quick turn ceramic prototypes of complex precision components allows you to get a proof of concept for design evaluation in hand quickly and without extensive tooling costs.

Our precision part dimensions typically range from 0.3mm (.0118”) to 32mm (1.25”) with tolerances less than 5-10μm (0.0002″ – 0.0004″).
