Abstract Scope |
For over 10 years 3DCERAM has been a pioneer in the realm of ceramic additive manufacturing. 3DCERAM offers turn-key ceramic printer lines, dedicated materials (3DMix), and printer services.
Additive manufacturing of technical ceramics expands the capabilities of what can be manufactured. As with other additive manufacturing techniques, printing parts with certain complex geometries is now possible and with the added benefit of no tooling costs. There are a wide variety of possible applications for such technology such as biomedical, aerospace, electronics, foundry cores, and many others. In the foundry industry there is a lot of interest in manufacturing increasingly complex ceramic cores to meet the demands of evolving turbine blade designs. Ceramic additive manufacturing finds a niche application for aerospace manufacturing in making optical mirror components. In the biomedical field, 3DCERAM has developed materials such as HAP, TCP, etc. for a wide range of biomedical implant applications. |
