Ceramics Additive Manufacturing
Few materials in the world of manufacturing offer as wide a range of applications as ceramics. When it comes to ceramics additive manufacturing, the wide range of different additive manufacturing processes further expands the range of applications and materials. New technologies are emerging every day, focusing on the latest advancements in both ceramic material science and AM process science.
Ceramics Additive Manufacturing Today
Researchers have been studying additive manufacturing of ceramic materials for close to two decades (almost as long as AM exists). While they have shown great promise from the very beginning, the first real, practical and commercial applications of ceramics AM began to emerge only recently.
In this Industry Focus on Ceramics Additive Manufacturing, you will find the latest news on ceramic AM hardware, as well as in-depth information on all the technologies enabling 3D printing of technical and traditional ceramic materials.

Sea urchins may be key to developing lightweight engineered cellular materials
In the ongoing search for strong, lightweight materials, researchers are looking at sea urchins, which have spines made of chalk, and are generally brittle. Ironically, the highly complex three-dimensional structure of sea urchin spines is 70 to 80 percent porous and thus creates an overall stable, strong structure. Studying the…
