Green Machining
Green machining involves the machining of metal or ceramic bodies in the "green" state prior to sintering. Typically these bodies are comprised of ceramic or metal powder held together by an organic binder. In this state they are far easier to machine than monolithic blocks of the corresponding metal and ceramic. Advantages of green machining include:
![]() Processing removes the polymer binders and densifies the remaining metal powders by sintering at high temperature. The result is a dense, strong part that looks and behaves like conventional wrought metal parts. CAM-LEM provides metal part manufacturing services using our green machining processes. We are now also providing green metal blocks for sale to those who wish to perform their own machining. See our metaMETAL page for more information. |
