Short answer: Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) compacts metal powder uniformly from all sides in a flexible mould under fluid pressure — giving denser, more uniform green parts than uniaxial pressing, with no density gradient. It is the standard first step for PM billets, rods, tubes and near-net shapes that are later sintered or hot-isostatically pressed.
