Ceramic 3D printing is there, can a 3d printer print ceramics

Now there are still great restrictions on the materials of 3D printing services, not all materials can be printed, but ceramic materials can now be printed, and Wukong Printing Workshop can carry out ceramic 3D printing services.

You don't have a basic concept of rapid prototyping, so let's talk about it here. None of these three things can be "typed" at the same time, so you have to buy three different "printers" separately.

Rapid prototyping equipment is divided into additive type (now popular 3D printers) and subtractive type (mature engraving machine).

** & Features:

Metal, printing metal 3D printers millions, individuals can't afford it, and there's nothing available. Subtractive metal engraving machine, the cheapest is only 8000 yuan, there is no problem to do metal engraving, and the technology is very mature.

Ceramic, the printing filament is ceramic, there are such models in the United States. The starting product is 1,000 US dollars, and the domestic product is about 10,000 yuan.

Wood, 3D printers do not have printable wood, you are also considering the "engraving machine", now it has been very commonly used in the furniture manufacturing industry, and now there are furniture with the same pattern, all of which are made by engraving machines, such as carving a small Buddha statue. Metal-wood engraving machine, the cheapest is only 8000 yuan.

Using a 3D printer to make metal crafts is not reliable now. If you make some molds for metal crafts, you can outsource them, and there are many enterprises in the south that only do mold business, which can fully meet the demand.

3D printing is a good, easy to say, and fun concept, but the concept of 3D printing must be combined with industry technology in order to take root, otherwise it is just a hype concept.

Compared with traditional processes, ceramic 3D printing technology has significant advantages such as high precision, design freedom, no mold, and controllable manufacturing of complex structures. At present, developed ceramic molding methods include SLA, DLP, laser sintering, fused deposition, etc. In terms of surface quality and molding effect, the light-curing technology reflects better printing results.

According to market demand, Kuaishi has developed desktop and industrial-grade DLP ceramic 3D printers in the early years.

<> with the gradual maturity of ceramic 3D printing technology, more and more fields have begun to use this technology to solve the pain points that cannot be solved by traditional technology. In the course of application, we also recognize that some cutting-edge industrial applications have limitations due to material and precision limitations. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of scientific research institutions, we have developed and produced ceramic 3D printers that integrate a variety of materials and high precision.

For Brightorb, AGCC and VoxelJet have also developed a new 3D printer, the VX1000, which can print parts with a volume of 1000 x 600 x 500 mm and combine ceramic particles with an inorganic adhesive.

A Japanese company has developed a new 3D printer for clay, Brightorb, which is mainly composed of alumina (Al2O3) 80%, zirconia (ZRO2) 10%, silicon oxide (SiO2) 9%, mineral corundum, babbitt, and various cements. Brightorb is applied to build a platform during the 3D printing process with an average particle size of 50 microns and a layer thickness of 100 microns, and is selectively bound to an inorganic adhesive. On the other hand, it can effectively reduce the performance shortcomings of single-material models and improve the thermal stability, strength and toughness of printed products.
