Description
3D PRINTING WITHOUT SUPPORTS: CERAMIC SLA
Top-down stereolithography allows for printing without supports by building the part from the bottom up as the tray moves down. 3DCeram is capable of producing precise and detailed parts consistently.
The printing material is fed into a cartridge at the start of the printing cycle, making it easy to refill the cartridge during printing.
Additionally, 3DCeram’s top-down stereolithography process is suitable for a wide range of materials, including ceramics and advanced composites, enabling the production of parts with high mechanical and thermal properties.
This technology is particularly well-suited for applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical, where high-performance and precise parts are required.

APPLICATION
Aerospace hardware
Owing to their exceptional physicochemical properties, including excellent corrosion resistance and electrical insulation, ceramic materials for 3D printing are a significant breakthrough for the aerospace industry, which continually seeks new technological advancements, lighter weight, and shorter development timelines. In this context, ceramics are utilized to enhance the performance of advanced space equipment, such as satellites, measurement devices, optical instruments, and more.
Ceramic foundry cores
Foundry cores play a crucial role in the manufacturing of turbine blades for both aviation and land-based gas turbines. There is currently a growing demand for complex core designs driven by the need for smaller, more efficient, and cost-effective engines that operate at higher temperatures. 3DCeram has developed an optimized method for producing ceramic foundry cores that offers significant advantages over traditional techniques, including reduced build times while improving the cost-per-core ratio.
The requirements for core production encompass high dimensional accuracy, adequate structural strength, appropriate surface roughness, and controlled material porosity. These parameters can be effectively managed through ceramic 3D printing. In addition to saving time and boosting productivity, this approach offers design flexibility, improved responsiveness, consistent quality of the produced cores, and increased profitability for manufacturers.
Biomedical advances
Since 2005, 3DCeram has been at the forefront of developing advanced biomedical solutions. Throughout the years, the company has achieved a level of expertise that fully addresses the needs of the medical field. With a diverse array of ceramic 3D printers and specialized biocompatible materials, 3DCeram possesses all the essential supply chain certifications to implement its innovative technologies across various sectors, including dental, orthopedic, maxillofacial, and plastic surgery.
The company is well-known for producing small batches of bone substitutes, such as intervertebral cages and tibial osteotomy wedges, as well as cranial and jawbone implants. Additive manufacturing allows professionals to precisely control the porosity of these ceramic substitutes. Additionally, 3DCeram has created a unique SLA-based technology called BioCranium, which facilitates the production of custom bioceramic implants.
Expanded industry
Different industrial sectors are increasingly leveraging the distinctive mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties of technical ceramic materials. 3DCeram’s additive manufacturing technology is gaining traction in areas such as chemistry, oil and gas, water treatment, electronics, automotive, and more.
Ceramic 3D printing streamlines the creation of intricate components that traditional equipment and methods cannot achieve. It minimizes downtime and removes the necessity for costly tooling, which is especially crucial for contemporary businesses and small-scale production. Furthermore, the adaptable design options facilitate rapid and mold-free manufacturing of functional parts.
For the benefit of research
The resistance and diverse properties of ceramic materials—including mechanical, magnetic, thermal, chemical, and electrical characteristics—make them suitable for applications that endure high stress in challenging environments. Similarly, 3DCeram’s highly functional and dependable additive manufacturing machines are contributing to the increasing demand for ceramic 3D printing in research conducted by major research groups and universities.
MATERIALS
MASS CUSTOMIZATION, MOVE TOWARD WITH ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
The versatility of 3D printing technology offers unique benefits across various industries, making it an intriguing and adaptable tool.
The use of 3D printing for technical ceramics introduces new possibilities for applications by optimizing designs and overcoming limitations inherent in traditional production methods such as machining.
With a strong background in additive manufacturing, 3DCeram is well-equipped to understand and meet the diverse needs of different customers. Drawing from our experience, we have honed our expertise to advance the technology and address industrial demands, focusing on developing a mass production method that is also customizable.
To meet these industrialization requirements in 3D printing technical ceramics, we have introduced the C3600 ULTIMATE, an industrial printer designed to handle large parts or produce significant quantities of small, uniform, or diverse parts on its 600x600x300 mm build platform.
In the journey towards industrial-scale production, the development phase is crucial. This is why the C100 EASY FAB complements the C3600 ULTIMATE, providing a stepping stone to help you progress towards your goals effectively.
