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.

Lithoz is ready to scale up serial ceramic additive manufacturing production
Technical ceramics 3D printing is the most advanced segment of AM and that also makes it the hardest to implement. One challenge is that there is no ceramics rapid prototyping: technical ceramics are end-use materials, in fact, they are often the best end-use materials; they come into play only when…

Silicon carbide 3D printing is hot. Let’s find out why
The extremely high melting point of many ceramics adds challenges to additive manufacturing as compared with metals and polymers. At the same time, because ceramics cannot be cast or machined easily, 3D printing enables a big leap in geometrical flexibility. This is certainly true for silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics. And…
