3DP Ceramic 3D Printing

How does Ceramic 3D printing work?

How does Ceramic 3D printing work?

1. Extrusion

The clay slurry or slurry is pushed onto the nozzle, and the components pile up layer by layer, just like a desktop 3D printer; In this technology, the resolution is the lowest, but it can also achieve maximum construction volume.

2. Adhesive spraying

The binder is selectively applied to the ceramic powder bed at once; The final part must undergo debonding treatment.

3. Powder sintering

High power laser engraves the cross-section of each layer on the bed of ceramic powder

4. Nanoparticle spraying

Liquid suspension containing solid ceramic nanoparticles is deposited layer by layer using inkjet

5. Photopolymerization

Resin filled with ceramic particles is used in DLP printers, where each layer is solidified into a solid using ultraviolet light; The final part must undergo debonding treatment.

Advantages of Ceramic 3D printing technology:

The application of ceramics in many industries is very meaningful, and 3D printed versions of ceramics are rapidly replacing traditional ceramic parts

1. 3DP ceramic printing can design and manufacture complex porcelain carving products without being limited by manual technology

2. Material reduction rate is less than 1% (sintering temperature 1350 ℃), cost saving. Seamless splicing, hollowing and other designs can be achieved without considering issues such as collapse reduction

3.3DP ceramic printing can solve the problem of difficult machining of complex structural parts, simplify complex production procedures, and greatly reduce the investment of manpower and material resources

4. Realize rapid production of ceramic products, accelerate product development and production speed, and meet customer customization requirements

5. Ceramics 3D printing have excellent chemical, physical, and mechanical properties, such as high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, good insulation, and certain resistance to rapid cooling and heating. They can be used to produce high-performance ceramic functional parts

Application of Ceramic 3D printing:

● Aerospace

The dimensional stability and low density of ceramics make them ideal materials for rockets and satellites to be launched into space in the form of bearings, seals, and thermal shields; Parts will experience extreme temperature changes in space, depending on their relative position with the sun.

Therefore, it is important that materials cannot shrink or expand in these temperature changes. Of course, the cost of sending anything into space is directly related to mass (weight), so lightness is always a priority consideration.

● Aviation

The same characteristics are equally helpful in the Earth's atmosphere. If not, there is more turbulence and friction in the Earth's atmosphere that needs to be addressed; Ceramics have high wear resistance and heat resistance, making them suitable for various aircraft components, including armor, electrical insulation, and fuel nozzles.

● Automobile

The hardness and toughness of ceramics are particularly useful in the field of automotive manufacturing. From spark plugs, brakes, sensors, and filters, there are countless components in any given car, including ceramics.

● Medicine

Ceramics are lightweight, durable, and biocompatible materials that are important in the medical and surgical industries. They can be used for implants, surgical tools and guides, as well as diagnostic equipment.

● Energy

The requirements for power generation and distribution systems are high and critical, and ceramics contribute to the reliability of these systems. Its wear resistance, electrical insulation, and rigid mechanical properties enable it to survive in harsh power plant environments.

● Chemistry and Medicine

The synthesis of chemicals and drugs requires processes involving rapid temperature changes, pressure, and corrosion. Customized ceramics can be more durable than special mechanical metals used in industry.

● Electrical engineering

Many electrical components must operate in harsh environments, such as sensors in engines and furnaces, as well as vacuum chambers in particle accelerators
