History
The RAM Process of molding was invented and patented in the mid-1940s by Keith Blackburn and Richard Steele, two ceramic engineering graduates from Ohio State University (OSU). Harold Dawson, another OSU graduate and co-owner of a small machining company, developed and built the first RAM Press shortly thereafter in Columbus, Ohio.
Blackburn and Steele licensed the RAM process and press for a decade, then sold their company to the Wallace Murray Corp. RAM Products Inc. of Columbus, Ohio was organized in 1979 and now manufactures the RAM press.
