History

CeraNova Corporation is a privately held company that specializes in advanced materials product development for industrial and commercial markets. Founded in 1992, CeraNova has extensive experience in processing and manufacturing of advanced ceramics and ceramic composites. Over the last 23 years, the company has been awarded numerous government and commercial development contracts for process technology and product development. In 1996, CeraNova spun off Specific Surface Corporation, a venture-funded business created to manufacture ceramic and metal particulate filters for high-temperature gases using exclusively licensed 3D printing (additive manufacturing) technology from MIT. For the last decade, CeraNova has been focused on advanced and transparent ceramic components.
