Technology Licensing

Premixed ceramic core material is designed to be added directly to your injection moulding machine. Volumes start at 100 kg up to several tonnes, customers operating under a licence receive premixed material at a discounted rate. Prices vary based on the volume of mix that is purchased.   

The supply of our bespoke blends of bedding powder are included within a licence agreement, we have developed bespoke blends of bedding powder to accompany each of our ceramic core materials. The right choice of bedding material can be the difference between success and failure when it comes to establishing a consistent and repeatable process.  

When operating under a technology licence impregnation materials are supplied in a premixed ready to use condition. There are 3 types of impregnation materials to choose from based on the type of ceramic core that is to be produced. Premixed impregnation materials are added directly to the equipment and through the implementation of our process instructions the process is ready to operate.  

A technology licence includes the use of process instructions for all of the key manufacturing processes including injection moulding, core firing, impregnation, and core finishing. Each process instruction is written in a step by step format with colour images for ease of use and understanding.  

Customers that operate under a technology licence have invariably decided to source their own manufacturing equipment or may already have equipment installed. The technology licence includes the provision of optimised equipment settings for each piece of equipment that allows for quick optimisation your process and ensures you achieve the desired outcome without hours of trials.

At the start of each technology licence period we provide each licensee with a complete range of recommended consumables that are vital to the successful development and production of world class ceramic cores. We then provide each licensee the details of all the required consumables and where these items can be sourced for future reference.  

A proven way to accelerate your production readiness is to ensure your team are well trained when it comes to ceramic core manufacturing. We provide the option of training your team members in our state of the art ceramic core development facility in the UK or we can provide on-site training at a location of your choosing, remote training is also possible if this is the preferred option. 

Throughout the duration of the licence period we provide the licensee with our complete support, this support covers a number of topics including: equipment, sales support, process support and also individual product support. This support is available 7 days a week via phone, email or video conferencing.
