Introduction to Ceramic 3D Printers

Ceramics can now be manufactured using 3D printers that utilize light curing technology. Complex shapes that were previously impossible can now be achieved.

In ceramics, traditional manufacturing methods have limitations on the shapes that can be produced, and molding methods using precision molds are costly and time-consuming, with similar restrictions on reproducible shapes. This time, we have achieved manufacturing using a 3D printer with light curing technology. We can create various complex shapes that are smaller than the size of a palm. For example, alumina particles smaller than 1 micron are mixed with UV-curable resin to create a slurry using a stirrer, and then shaped by irradiating UV light. The particle size is very fine, below 1 micron, and due to the advanced stirring technology used, the particles are distributed very uniformly, resulting in a very smooth finish and surface after firing. We not only offer proposals and sales of the equipment itself but also provide contract processing based on 3D data received. The materials include information on manufacturing methods and examples of shapes, so please check them as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

basic information

Target materials: Alumina, zirconia, and other oxide-based materials *For nitrides and carbides, please inquire. We also accommodate unique customer recipes, so please contact us. Work size: Palm-sized or smaller Provision methods: 1. Sale of light-formed ceramics 3D printer manufacturing equipment 2. Contract processing When considering the introduction of equipment, we will first respond with contract processing, so if you provide 3D data, we can convert it into sliced data for consideration. Additionally, since ceramic shaping requires firing, we will provide the finished product after firing.
