An isostatic press acts against a molding tool (4,5,11,12,32,33) enclosed in the pressing chamber of the press, the cavity (4) of the press tool being defined in the press by an enveloping wall (5) of an elastomeric material and two end walls (11,33) meeting the enveloping wall (5). The dry pressing chamber of the press is defined by a radially deformable elastomeric jacket (6) exercising pressure against the enveloping wall (5) of the molding tool, and two press end structures (2,3) meeting the pressing chamber jacket (6) and carrying the end walls (33,11) of the molding tool. At least one end wall (33,11) is carried by an adjacent end structure (3,2) via an elastomeric element (31). The elastomeric element is disposed with its peripheral edge exposed against, and lying adjacent the deformable elastomeric jacket (6) of the pressing chamber. When the press is pressurized, the jacket (6) will press radially against the elastomeric element (31) such that the latter is axially expanded, thereby compensating for the axial strain of the press frame.
