Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) applies pressure from multiple directions for achieving greater uniformity of compaction (highquality parts) and increased shape capability, compared to uniaxial pressing.There are two methods of carrying out isostatic pressing:n wet-bag isostatic pressing, powder is encased in a rubber sheath that is immersed in a liquid which transmits the pressureuniformly to the powder.
In dry-bag isostatic pressing, rather than immerse the tooling in a fluid, the tooling itself is built with internal channels into whichhigh-pressure fluid is pumped.
