A Review on Ceramic Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)

Advanced ceramics are indispensable for the development and application of modern technologies. Conventional ceramic manufacturing techniques cannot meet the increasingly demands for rapid manufacturing for high-end ceramic products with personalized, refined, lightweight and complex. The emerging additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology has the huge potential in the field of advanced ceramic manufacturing, as is expected to break the bottleneck of the traditional ceramic technology, and opens up a new field for the applications of the key ceramic parts. Therefore, in view of the ceramic material and its rapid prototyping and the post-processing technology, this article reviews the research status of major ceramic additive manufacturing technologies, such as the three dimensional printing technology, stereolithography apparatus technology, selective laser sintering technology, etc. The article also summarizes the challenges that are needed to address for the ceramic 3D printing, as well as potential trends in this area.
