| Abstract Scope |
The advancement of additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has transformed traditional manufacturing concepts, providing complex geometries and materials properties with remarkable accuracy and design flexibility. This research investigates the mechanical and interfacial properties of 3D printed high performance ceramics and multi-material ceramics counterparts printed via vat photopolymerization. The research focuses on a comprehensive study of mechanical tests like flexural test, compression test and hardness test. Advanced characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopic (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) analysis were conducted to evaluate the microstructural integrity and thermal stability of the printed parts.
The findings of this study demonstrate the potential of vat photopolymerization in producing multi-layer ceramics with tailored properties for demanding industrial applications. Initiatory results shows that the integration of multi-material structures significantly affects the interfacial strength and reduces the brittleness commonly associated with ceramics. |
