Abstract Scope |
Thus far, ceramic additive manufacturing is mostly associated to only prototyping, but thanks to the recent developments achieved by 3DCERAM and revealed in this presentation, this technology can now meet industrial needs by offering a wide range of quality ceramic materials and large-scale processes. Indeed, since more than a decade, 3DCERAM has worked with the C900 printer which is designed with high viscosity slurries. Nevertheless, 2 years ago, we started to focus on the development of lower viscosity and higher reactivity materials with the same high loading content. The use of low viscosity slurries improves the automatization of the process and the reduction of the printing time. Moreover, the high loading content ensures high quality sintered parts (microstructure, density and accuracy). 3DCERAM has also developed 2 new printers compatible with these low viscosity slurries: the C100 to develop skills and designs, and the C3600 for the industrial scale. |
