Researchers at US-based, HRL Laboratories LLC, have achieved a new milestone in 3D printing technology by demonstrating an approach to additively manufacture ceramics that overcomes the limits of traditional ceramic processing and enables high temperature, high strength ceramic components.
HRL’s senior chemical engineer, Zak Eckel and senior chemist, Dr Chaoyin Zhou have invented a resin formulation that can reportedly be 3D printed into parts of virtually any shape and size. The printed resin can then be fired, converting it into a high strength, fully dense ceramic. The resulting material can withstand ultrahigh temperatures in…
