“…7 presents the schematic of the material jetting technology. Small droplets of ceramic suspension (build-up material) and support material are dispensed by hundreds of nozzles contained in the printheads, creating the predefined cross-section [133,134]. The build plate (substrate) may be heated to begin to evaporate the solvent of the printed ink [135].…”

“…The build plate (substrate) may be heated to begin to evaporate the solvent of the printed ink [135]. In order to complete the solvent evaporation, the drying device moves over the printed layers [133]. Compared with the other ceramic additive manufacturing technologies, very little study has been done regarding parameter optimization.…”

“…Compared with the other ceramic additive manufacturing technologies, very little study has been done regarding parameter optimization. In this process, layer thickness has been used at around 10 μm [133,135]. This technology is best suited for compact parts [1], having excellent resolution (~20 μm [6,135]), as shown in Fig.…”

“…However, few articles have been recently published on the topic. Usually, very thin ceramic (thickness smaller than 1 mm) bodies were fabricated [30,133,141], aiming to produce cathodes/electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells [30,141] or dielectric resonator antenna [135]. There is very little information about the properties of parts produced by ceramic material jetting.…”

“…There is very little information about the properties of parts produced by ceramic material jetting. Willems et al [133] reported having obtained zirconia parts by material jetting with a density of 99.7%, surface roughness (Ra) of about 7 μm, and flexural strength greater than 1000 MPa. This work also reported firing shrinkage between 16.8% and 17.6%.…”

Ceramic additive manufacturing allows the fabrication of small series of complex parts without the high costs of molds usually associated with traditional ceramic processing. Although research into ceramic 3D printing by all technologies started back in the 90s, its industrial application is still quite restricted when compared to polymers and metals, which is related to the limited availability and costs of equipment and materials for such applications. This review examined the advantages and limitations of each process (binder jetting, direct ink writing, directed energy deposition, fused deposition, material jetting, selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, and vat photopolymerization), discussing their particularities. It also summarized the commercially available 3D printers and raw materials for ceramic processing, pointing out to trends and challenges of each technology.

Ceramic Foams with Controlled Geometries Through 3D‐Printed Sacrificial Templates

Powder‐based 3D printing was combined with sacrificial templating to realize highly porous yttria‐stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) ceramic foam objects with well‐defined geometries. The porous sacrificial template is 3D printed using poly(methyl methacrylate) powder. Various methods are evaluated to optimize ceramic slurry infiltration into the 3D‐printed template and subsequent burn‐out. The optimized method yields ceramic foam objects with an open porosity of >66% and replicates the geometry of the 3D‐printed template with high fidelity.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of high‐performance structural ceramic components with comparative strength and toughness as conventionally manufactured ceramics remains challenging. Here, a UV‐curing approach is integrated in direct ink writing (DIW), taking advantage from DIW to enable an easy use of high solid‐loading pastes and multi‐layered materials with compositional changes; while, avoiding drying problems. UV‐curable opaque zirconia‐based slurries with a solid loading of 51 vol% are developed to fabricate dense and crack‐free alumina‐toughened zirconia (ATZ) containing 3 wt% alumina platelets. Importantly, a non‐reactive diluent is added to relieve polymerization‐induced internal stresses, avoid subsequent warping and cracking, and facilitate the de‐binding. For the first time, UV‐curing assisted DIW‐printed ceramic after sintering reveals even better mechanical properties than that processed by a conventional pressing. This is attributed to the aligned alumina platelets, enhancing crack deflection and improving the fracture toughness from 6.8 ± 0.3 MPa m0.5 (compacted) to 7.4 ± 0.3 MPa m0.5 (DIW). The four‐point bending strength of the DIW ATZ (1009 ± 93 MPa) is also higher than that of the conventionally manufactured equivalent (861 ± 68 MPa). Besides homogeneous ceramic, laminate structures are demonstrated. This work provides a valuable hybrid approach to additively manufacture tough and strong ceramic components.
