This cutting-edge process allows the company to produce parts with exceptional precision, reducing the need for extensive machining and finishing. As a leading provider of near net shape sintering solutions, CalNano serves industries that demand high-performance materials and intricate designs, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.

What is Near Net Shape Sintering?

Near net shape sintering is a highly efficient manufacturing technique that utilizes powdered materials, such as metals and ceramics. These powders are compacted into a mold, which shapes the material into a form close to the final part's geometry. The compacted material is then heated, causing the particles to bond together in a solid form. Because the part is molded during the compaction phase, it closely resembles its final design, reducing the need for additional processes like grinding or milling.

Advantages of Near Net Shape Sintering

CalNano's near net shape sintering process offers a range of benefits:

• Material Efficiency: Since the process involves shaping the part as closely as possible to its final form, there is significantly less material waste compared to traditional machining.
• Cost-Effectiveness: With reduced waste and minimal post-production finishing required, the overall manufacturing costs are lowered.
• Precision and Versatility: Near net shape sintering is ideal for producing complex geometries with high accuracy. This technique is highly versatile, capable of handling a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and certain polymers.
• Sustainability: By minimizing waste and maximizing material use, near net shape sintering supports more sustainable production practices, which is a growing priority for industries worldwide.
