Allied Tech Supply has combined in-house feedstock production and world-class tooling capabilities to create a unique ability to provide you with the ideal solution to your problem.
Advantage #1: In-house Feedstock Production
ATS engineers have been producing feedstock for ceramic injection molding for nearly 20 years. In those years we have produced dozens of different feedstock to supply our customers with the right material. Tell us your application and if you have not chosen a material ATS can help you choose one. The advantages of producing our own feedstock include:
- Ultimate control over the production and quality of the feedstock.
- The ability to provide the best material for your product.
- The ability to alter or customize commonly found materials to better suit your requirements.
- The ability to make feedstock and your product from your own proprietary powders if so desired.
- The ability to produce unique composites of materials that result in the optimum characteristics for your product.
A short list of some of more common materials available include high purity alumina, partially stabilized zirconia, aluminum nitride, and boron carbide.
Advantage #2: In-house Tooling Capabilities
Most injection molders will tell you that tooling is the most critical element to successfully producing acceptable, functional products cost effectively and quickly. Not all machine shops can produce tooling for injection molding. Every tool is a unique machine that must operate consistently over many thousands of shots. That fact, combined with the special requirements of powder injection molding, limit the tool shops that are capable of making high quality molds.
