ACM's patented gel-casting process is a direct manufacturing technique for fabricating complex ceramic and cermet component geometries. Gel-casting offers a cost effective and productive alternative to hot pressing, cold-press and sinter, and other ceramic forming methods. For more information on gel-casting download ACM's Non-Aqueous Gel-Casting Process.

ACM provides a range of ceramic materials already tailored to the gel-cast process.

Cost and time saving advantages include:
1. Rapid transition from prototype to production
2. Rapid production of net or near-net shape components with complex geometries
3. Eliminate many costly finishing operations
4. Eliminate expensive hard tooling for high pressure cold pressing
5. Environmentally safe, water soluble & wax materials produce sacrificial molds
