• Understand the complete ceramic manufacturing pathway from powders to finished components
• Explain how processing influences structure and material properties
• Evaluate powder characteristics (particle size, shape, distribution, flowability)
• Compare dry and wet forming techniques and their applications
• Understand milling, granulation, and powder preparation methods
• Select appropriate forming methods (pressing, casting, extrusion, injection moulding, additive manufacturing)
• Understand drying behaviour and how to prevent defects
• Explain the principles of binder burnout, sintering, and heat treatment
• Apply knowledge to make informed process and material selection decisions

• Powder processing
• Ceramic forming
• Manufacturing routes
• Defect control
• Process optimisation

• Engineers working in ceramic manufacturing or advanced materials processing
• Process and production engineers responsible for component manufacture
• Materials scientists and R&D engineers developing ceramic materials
• Technicians working with powders, forming, or lab-scale processing
• Engineers transitioning into ceramics from adjacent sectors
• Early-career professionals needing a practical understanding of processing

• 2 days of in-person training, held at Lucideon's Headquarters and the AMRICC Centre in Staffordshire.
• This course includes a tour of Lucideon’s testing facilities and the AMRICC Centre, a unique open-access facility that translates materials, processes and technologies into real-world products and solutions through the commercialisation of innovative ideas.
• Practical demonstrations and hands on activities form part of the course. Please ensure you attend wearing closed toe shoes, any further required PPE will be provided for you.
• Refreshments and lunch will be provided for both days of training.
