Ceramic technological disruption

SELECTIVE ACOUSTIC SINTERING

The only machine
that transforms from powder into dense parts
in a single step.

All ceramics Additive manufacturing High pressure sintering Binder-free

Unleash industrial ceramics potential

We leverage a technological breakthrough: a new energy vector for additive manufacturing to produce precise and repeatable parts.

This process is called Selective Acoustic Sintering (SAS).

We manufacture the machines that utilize this process. We also provide operational support for these machines and dedicated R&D related to the process.

A process that is

UNIQUE IN THE WORLD

Direct sintering under high pressure
Binder-free, no debinding required,
Zero contamination from binder residues.

Additive manufacturing
In a single step from powder to dense part,
For highly precise complex parts,
with absolutely no deformation after shaping.

Modulable intensity during the process
For tailored density gradients or patterns.

Wa alleviate technologies limitation
in ceramics manufacturing

There are currently two technology families:

Shaping then sintering
Sintering then shaping

For all of those technolgies, there are numerous challenges, particularly:
High costs, R&D and production times,
Limited geometric shapes, and/or complex repeatability.

SELECTIVE ACOUSTIC SINTERING

is a 1-step process
making dense ceramic parts
from commercial powders.

SELECTIVE ACOUSTIC SINTERING

The process relies on direct sintering,
without intermediate melting or polymerization.

It utilizes a brand new energy vector: acoustic waves,
completely free of lasers or lights.

This additive manufacturing via sintering provides a unique set of unprecedented benefits:

Single step from powder to dense part.
Zero intermediates, no binder, no debinding phase.
No deformation, eliminating post-shaping sintering to reach maximum precision.
Density control & porosity management within the same part.
All material eligibles, including Oxides, Nitride, Titanates, Carbides.
