3d printing ceramic materials

It is a unique material made by firing clay to high temperatures. Ceramic can be a clay, and when the clay is heating it turns to hard bond that becomes very strong; which makes ceramic important. Ceramic has been used for centuries, even well over a millennium! They are actually known to have created a wide variety of items, including plates, cups and bowls as well as jewelery or even statues. Luckily, with new technologies like 3D printing we now can make more amazing things out of the ceramics that used to be impossible to create!

So the next question is, how do we make something a 3D printed ceramic? The first stage is we have to mimic whatever that wants to build in the computer. This involves an foil map, and it is done by utilizing specific software which will assist us in generating a virtual model of the artifact. While designing is great, it can also be very time-consuming and require some expertise to get perfect. We use a process where we create our Design and then send this to be printed in a special 3D printer that works with Ceramic materials.

So, to start with the printer will lay down a very thin layer of ceramic powder. Then it appends some kind of unique Velcro on each level. Each object is built upon these combined layers and the process repeats automatically until an entire object has been renovated. When the object is complete, it's then placed in a kiln to be fired and hardened -- much like traditional ceramics.

This 3D printed ceramic has many uses. A fine example being, beautiful sculptures and the likes that people can view. They can also be used to create everyday items we actually use, like cups and bowls etc. Moreover, the strength and durability of ceramic components produced by 3D printing can also be critical in high-end applications such as aerospace or medical.
