Toll Vacuum Hot Pressing
Bring your novel materials to life without the massive capital expenditure of buying your own furnace through our Toll Vacuum Hot Pressing service. Unfortunately, many R&D teams and advanced material startups develop incredible new powder formulations but lack the millions of dollars required for industrial-scale vacuum consolidation equipment. To solve this, we offer a secure, high-precision toll manufacturing partnership. You supply your proprietary powder, and our metallurgical engineers use our state-of-the-art Vacuum Hot Presses (VHP) to consolidate your material into high-density, high-purity blanks or finished sputtering targets.
Experience Unmatched Quality and Performance
Protect Your IP & Optimize Your Process
Tolling is about trust, security, and leveraging external expertise to perfect your product.
Strict IP Protection
First, we understand that your powder formulation is your competitive advantage. We operate under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), ensuring your proprietary alloys, complex ceramics, or experimental composites remain completely confidential.
Process Optimization
Furthermore, our engineers work directly with your team to develop custom temperature, pressure, and atmosphere profiles. This collaboration is critical for achieving 99% theoretical density in novel materials that have never been pressed before.
Scalable Production
Finally, whether you need a single 2-inch R&D tile or a continuous production run of 4-meter rotatable segments, our facility can scale with your success. This means you can seamlessly transition from the lab to full commercialization without changing manufacturing partners.
The SCI Manufacturing Advantage
Operating out of our advanced facility in Columbus, Ohio, we offer total end-to-end target manufacturing.
-
In-House Machining: Once your powder is consolidated into a blank, we don’t have to ship it out. We have extensive in-house machining capabilities to grind, cut, and finish your highly dense material into precise target geometries.
-
End-to-End Solutions: By utilizing our tolling service, you gain immediate access to our entire ecosystem, from Planar Indium Bonding to backing plate manufacturing, delivering a ready-to-use sputtering assembly.
Secure Your Custom Target
Once we have successfully pressed and machined your proprietary material, utilize our Planar Indium Bonding service to attach it to a highly conductive backing plate.
Need High-Purity Powders?
If you are still developing your formulation, we supply high-purity Advanced Ceramic Powders that you can use as the base for your proprietary blends.
High-Volume, Pressureless Options
If your material does not require uniaxial pressure, explore our Pressureless Sintering service for a highly cost-effective, high-throughput manufacturing route.
