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 our September 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.

Nanoe CEO Guillaume de Calan on offering the industry’s first ceramic 3D printing filament
When we talk about ceramic additive manufacturing, many think of ceramic slurries or powders being extruded or binder jetted. Most, however, will not automatically think of filament-based 3D printing—and for good reason. Currently, there is only one company on the market that offers ceramic filaments for industrial applications: French company…
