Knowledge from the world of porous plastics and filters.

During sintering, grainy or powdery base material is mixed and fused or compressed by means of heating. However, in contrast to a pure smelt, no or at least not all source materials are melted on. In layman’s terms, the source materials are ‘baked’.

The strength of the sintered bodies is based on sintering necks formed in a later production stage that are created as a result of surface diffusion between the material particles.

In some cases, workpieces are calibrated after the last stage, e.g. If higher dimensional accuracy is required that cannot be reached simply by sintering due to the fact that the volume loss cannot be calculated precisely. Here, the workpiece that is practically finished is tempered again.

We are inventors and thinkers.

We build our own production machines. We require perfect machines to achieve optimum results and ensure a constant level of quality. We do indeed have these but we develop and produce them in-house!

We check the feasibility of your drawing before sending a quote!

This is what service should be like: to avoid errors, we always review your drawing before sending a quote to check whether it can be implemented and whether your performance requirements can be met.

General construction rules for the construction of sintered plastic moulds:

  • Boreholes and undercutting vertical to the pressing direction can only be realised in a reworking phase.
  • Boreholes should have a minimum diameter of 2 mm.
  • It is better not to choose an overly extreme ‘slenderness ratio’ depending on the height of the workpiece. Several parts can be joined on a case-by-case basis.
  • If the outer edges need to be rounded, it is recommended that these are created as chamfers (30° – 45°) with levelled-off inclinations.
  • Usually, parts with one or several mould separators require more tool and/or production effort. The part thickness should not undercut 1.5 mm.

We will be happy to answer any request for detailed information.
