Ceramic 3D Printing
We can model fine ceramics directly from CAD data,
by ceramic 3D printing technology.
Features
3D printers have enabled the additive manufacturing of resins and metals.
In additive manufacturing, the purpose shapes can be manufactured without machining.
Our most specialized field is molding technology using dies,
but we have developed modeling technology for ceramics using 3D printers
as a shape-giving technology that does not rely on dies.
Specifically, we developed a thermoplastic ceramic filament
based on the material technology of ceramic injection molding.
And we realized 3D printing of ceramics just like resin materials,
by applying these filament to Fused-Deposition-Modeling method.
Sample: 3D printed ceramic jig
