Technical Information
Stereolithography, a technology without support
Top-down stereolithography enables technology that can print without supports. The tray moves down as the part itself is built from the bottom-up. 3DCeram is able produce consistent parts with high precision and fine details.
The feeding of the printing material is done by a printing material is fed into a cartridge which is simply filled at the beginning of the printing cycle. It is possible to re-fill the cartridge during the printing cycle.
3DCeram has a wide selection of ceramics developed for use with the C100 EASY printer.
The materials are able to obtain homogenous layers for maximum quality in final products. They guarantee a level of quality recognized by the most demanding industries.

Definition of technical ceramic
The ceramic materials are neither organic, nor metallic. They are generally formatted at ambient temperature and obtain their specific properties during a process of “sintering”, i.e. the consolidation of material obtained at high temperature.
Therefore, technical ceramics are the items made through this process and generally designated for the particularly demanding industrial fields. Thanks to their distinctive properties (stainless, insulating, and resistant to heat and wear), technical ceramics are also used in biomedical applications, luxury market…
The choice of ceramic material constituting the item to be produced, is governed by the constraints the object in question will be subjected to.among the hardest and most resistant technical ceramics. It has also highly resistant to thermal shocks, wear, and corrosion (liquid and gas). Some applications are in pump and valve components, semiconductors, among others
