For pores with a diameter of less than 1mm, it is generally considered difficult to create deep holes of 10mm or more using drilling or laser processing. Our company can manufacture deep holes of over 100mm with an inner diameter of φ0.02mm using high-precision extrusion molding. The inner diameter dimension tolerance is ±5%, and due to the extrusion molding process, the variation within the same lot is small. We can also create through holes with combinations of different shapes and hole diameters, allowing for structures with freely adjustable wall thicknesses from thin to thick. The materials used are high-purity alumina, zirconia, and aluminum nitride. 【Features】 ■ Capable of producing holes from φ0.02mm to a length of 100mm using our unique technology ■ Can produce deep holes with freely adjustable wall thicknesses from thin to thick *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
