Ceramic Matrix Composite Chemical Vapor Infiltration

I need a ceramic matrix composite component. Who can densify a preform, and what is the cycle time?

What it is

Densifying a ceramic fiber preform by depositing matrix from a gas phase over repeated long-duration cycles. The route to silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites, and the reason CMC parts carry very long lead times.
