Zirconia (ZrO₂), also known as zirconium dioxide, is a toughened ceramic with superior fracture toughness and wear resistance, ideal for CNC machining of components requiring precision, reliability, and aesthetic quality. Zirconia’s ability to withstand high mechanical stress and its biocompatibility make it a preferred choice in medical, industrial, and aerospace applications.
Zirconia is a partially stabilized ceramic known for its high strength, fracture toughness, and smooth finish potential. It is often selected where both mechanical durability and visual quality are essential.
We machine medical-grade and industrial-grade stabilized Zirconia with high dimensional precision.
