The company founded in 1966 by chemical engineer Jorge Cardenas andElly Cardenas in Albershausen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, has beendedicated to the fascination of ceramics for 50 years.
Todays power resistors and heating elements are usually made of metalwires wound around a core. Due to the non-adjustable resistivity oftypical resistance alloys these components may become quite large indimensions and therefore the overall size determining components incomplex electric devices. Furthermore, prices of metals are rising overthe last years. Pursuing an alternative material concept promises … Read more
Silicon carbide components provide outstanding thermal shockresistance but, unlike traditional ceramics, they also combine low densitywith high mechanical strength.

A sliding block made of steel coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) hasbeen replaced with an injection-moulded Si3N4 component. Crucial for theceramic sliding block with improved material properties was to set up adedicated manufacturing process for large-volume manufacturing. Thissuccess story relates the background to the cooperation between NidecGMP GmbH and FCT Ingenieurkeramik GmbH with statements from … Read more
With the release of the new Ceramaker 100 printer, the French 3DCeramGroup’s strategy is clear. They aim to create a wide range of industrial3D-printers that meet the needs of their clients and which can adapt to aconstantly evolving market. The Ceramaker 900 arrived in 2015, and thesmaller but equally capable Ceramaker 100 is launched.
A team of scientists from CoorsTek Membrane Sciences, the University ofOslo/NO, and the Instituto de Tecnología Química/ES has developed a newprocess to use natural gas as raw material for aromatic chemicals.The process uses a novel ceramic membrane to make the direct,non-oxidative conversion of gas to liquids possible for the first time –reducing cost, eliminating multiple … Read more
