From Prototyping to Serial Production – 3D-Printing in Ceramic Manufacturing

For two decades, Additive Manufacturing (AM) was used mainly for the rapid prototyping of visual or functional models. However, with growing awareness of its potential and increasing performance of 3D-­printers,...

Additive Manufacturing by Extrusion in Ceramics

Literature on the prospects, visions, variants and details of Additive Manufacturing (AM) – also termed 3D-printing or robot prototyping – is growing exponentially. If you trust WIKIPEDIA, AM describes a...

Pin Indentation: A Method for the Local Mechanical Characterisation of Highly Porous Ceramic Materials

This study highlights the benefits of testing brittle, highly porous materials locally in addition to the well-established testing methods such as uniaxial compression. Small scale variations in porosity, pore size,...
