Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics

This book provides a comprehensive review of advances in processing ceramic-based materials with complex geometries using additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technologies. AM enables the integration of material and geometric design, allowing for tailored performance, reduced production time and lower costs. Despite notable progress, challenges remain, particularly in improving dimensional accuracy and surface finish, due to the layer-by-layer processing characteristics. The book explores various practical AM techniques, offering detailed discussions on their strengths and limitations.

Key features:

• First book on 3D printing of ceramics
• Provides a comprehensive review of the achievements in the field of processing of ceramic‐based materials using additive manufacturing technologies
• Describes various practical technologies in detail, with intensive discussion on their respective advantages and shortcomings
• Acts as a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in areas of advanced ceramics and ceramic processing
