CERAshell Demonstrator 2025

INNOVATION for In-Mould-Graining & PU-Sprayed-Skin

CERAshell is an additively manufactured, porous ‘shell’ tool coated with a functional ceramic surface which is machined, polished, laser drilled and laser textured. The shell tool is primarily used for the thermoforming process, in particular for the IMG-S (In Mould Graining Skin) and for the PU Spray Skin process. An alternative to high cost, time consuming traditional Galvano tooling process (Electroform).
