A powder press for forming a work piece (5) from powdered material includes at least one force applying assembly (360) and at least one punch (112). The punch (112) is preferably monolithic. The punch (112) is driven by a force applying assembly (360) directly applying force to the force receiving end of the punch without the need for any adapters. The area of the force receiving end of the punch directly corresponds to the area of the work piece (5) being formed. A plurality of force applying assemblies may be present, and are preferably axially fixed relative to one another. The press does not require use of the platens of conventional presses nor a massive external frame. |
