- High resolution printing process – micron precision/ good dimensional fidelity
- High quality surface finish – minimal post-processing – material dependant
- High density and bulk material properties equivalent or superior to conventional ceramics
- High production rate/ fast machine turnaround
- Economical raw materials usage/ recycles unused raw materials
- Multi-material capability/ material changeovers in a few minutes
- Energy efficient process

Why Ceramic Additive Manufacturing
Benefits of Ceramic 3D Printing
- Design Flexibility – geometry practically only limited by the designer’s imagination
- Part Consolidation – making one part instead of using many pieces joined together
- Strong Lightweight Parts – use of CAD/ 3D Modelling leads to efficient structures
- Part Complexity – realises geometries not achievable by other manufacturing methods
- Part Geometry – realises precision internal holes, channels and passages not usually possible in ceramic parts
- Part Properties – sintered AM parts exhibit good flexural, compressive and impact strength
- No supplementary tooling – reduced cycle times and fast turn-around
- Minimum Order Quantity of one – no need for large batch sizes/ orders
- Short Production Lead Times – parts can be delivered in days not weeks or months
- Rapid Iteration during New Product Development Phase
