A study has developed an innovative method that overcomes the limitations of traditional additive manufacturing (3D printing), significantly simplifying and accelerating the production of ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

As his dissertation project, Pelanconi optimized the above mentioned process to produce complex ceramic architectures through additive manufacturing. The approach involves 3D printing of polymeric ...

Field-assisted sintering technology has revolutionized materials processing by integrating temperature, mechanical, and electrical fields to achieve unprecedented densification efficiency and ...

Engineers at the National Composites Centre (NCC) have completed a European first by manufacturing Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) using Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) technology, paving the way for ...

Additive manufacturing has emerged as a collection of disruptive technologies for fabricating parts with complex geometries and site-specific microstructures. It has been even shown that their ...

Ceramic materials suitable for additive manufacturing (AM) methods often lack essential material properties such as density or mechanical strength, which hinders the wider industrial application of 3D ...

A study led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an innovative method that overcomes the limitations of traditional additive ...
