Leveraging Kyocera's extensive technical expertise in raw materials, die molding, and injection molding, we have achieved mass production of small ceramics with complex shapes that are difficult to manufacture using molding methods such as pressing, CIP, and extrusion.
Furthermore, by improving molding technology, we have enabled mass production of thin-walled parts which were previously difficult to manufacture.
*Numbers are reference values based on actual products and may vary depending on the required shape.
Mass production of suction nozzles with 0.08 mm diameter through holes (1,000 pieces/lot)
Mass production of ultra-thin parts (0.02 mm) and complex shape parts
