About INMATEC Technologies
INMATEC Technologies GmbH specialises in the development and production of custom ceramic feedstocks for ceramic injection moulding (CIM – Ceramic Injection Moulding). The feedstocks enable the production of complex components made of alumina or zirconia ceramics using the injection moulding process at high volumes and with hardly any post-processing; they are tailored to the requirements of the respective application. The range of services includes innovation consulting, material development and production, tool design as well as project management for the commissioning of ceramic injection moulding systems. The company supports customers along the entire process chain from powder to idea to series production. Quality assurance monitors every step from the raw materials to the finished feedstock. In 2021 the company informed the professional community about an expansion of its production capacities; sales partnerships exist with ADDITIVA in South America and NOMIS in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.
