Additive manufacturing of non-oxide ceramics such as silicon carbide is much less developed than oxides (such as alumina and zirconia). If adequately developed, it could open the way to different functionalities from those that can be achieved with oxide ceramics, particularly at high temperatures, with superior stability, high thermal conductivity,…
