We have an "experimental" material that we have been working with for the
past 2 years or so. It is a ceramic material with a binder. We sinter the
binder in an SLS machine and then cure the ceramic and binder in an oven.
We then infiltrate the ceramic with a high temperature epoxy and then cure
it in the oven as well. The cure cycle is 24 hours at 400F. It is a
relatively strong part and has good detail and fairly good accuracy. If you
are interested in more details, let me know.

Dear Sir,
We have a some experience with laser sintering of high temperature PZT
ceramics.

Hi RP people
Does anyone have experience of sintering ceramic? If so I need to know if
there is a process that sinters ceramic at low temperature (max 150 degrees
C) and if so what are the properties of the sintered material. I need to
prototype a small electronic component which in production would be potted
in ceramic.
Kind Regards
