"Zur wirtschaftlichen Fertigung vollkeramischer Restaurationen:
Ob grün, gesintert oder gehippt, ein Vergleich lohnt sich."
This is the headline for another article dealing with all-ceramic dental materials. The "grün, gesintert oder gehippt" refers to the state of a ceramic workpiece for a dental restoration.
I can't find "gehippt" anywhere, and I haven't got the faintest idea what it means. But hopefully someone here will know what it is. TIA for your help.

HIP
Man, where do you guys dig these things up?
HIP = Hot isostatic pressing
Read all about it at the link #1.
I would guess that the German author fell into Fachjargon just because there was not a corresponding German term.
Link #2 shows how to abuse English in the same way!
"Oxides: Alumina, Zirconia, and others are routinely HIPped."
HIPped, indeed!

Comment: "How very hip! ;-) Seriously, thank you very much! I agree with Gillian that this is mighty strange, but then the English itself is a bit weird! A great term for the glossary though! Indeed, the ProZ glossary is made for things like this, which a normal dictionary would never cover! (Though I guess if enough German writers start adopting this guy's approach, that could change in the future.) Anyway, thanks very much once again to you all for your help. Groovy! :-)"

HIP'ed
I've seen some really weird things in my time, but this has got to be one of the most peculiar:
HIP is hot isostatic pressing
but for a German to make a verb of an English abbreviation and then put it into a past tense - no wonder you couldn't find it!
This is one way of densifying ceramics (green is untreated)
