Dry Pressing

High-volume, cost-effective alumina ceramic dry pressing services in Australia for your industrial needs.

What Is Alumina Ceramic Dry Pressing?

Alumina ceramic dry pressing is a manufacturing method used to produce high-performance ceramic components through the application of pressure to powdered alumina. This process allows for the creation of precise shapes and sizes, which is ideal for producing large quantities of components with uniformity and accuracy. Dry pressing is especially suitable for high-volume production runs, as it offers a low unit cost when large numbers are manufactured.

At Technical Ceramics Australia, we leverage our expertise and advanced pressing technology to deliver high-quality alumina components tailored to your needs. Though production tooling can be expensive, the cost is effectively amortised over large production quantities, making this method extremely economical for industries requiring precision components at scale.
