πŸͺ„ The very same aluminum oxide gland seal β€” our first product for a major customer

Every startup has a project where purely scientific interest first grew into something more applied. For our company, such a project was a request from PJSC Gazprom Neft a couple of years ago: to reverse-engineer a gland seal for an aggressive environment βš™οΈ

What was wrong with the standard assembly:
β€” the metal counterpart in an abrasive environment failed within 3 months;
β€” replacing the seal = equipment shutdown, downtime, losses;
β€” these products were only supplied in assembled units, with delivery times reaching 4-6 months.

We then printed this sample from the first version of our aluminum oxide (Al2O3) paste.

For us, this project with such a large company became the most important confirmation of the demand for the technology that drove us to develop the commercial direction of ceramic 3D printing πŸš€
