Advanced Ceramics for 3D Printing Applications

Additive method is employed for 3D printing ceramic materials over a subtractive conventional method with the help of computer-aided design [CAD]. The different feedstocks are used to print ceramic materials such as slurry, powder and bulk solid. Alumina powder is the most common material and excellent oxide used as a catalyst, adsorbent, aerospace material and microelectronics material. With the help of stereolithography technique, glass ceramics and active glass can be printed.
