Machining of ceramic components is extremely difficult owing to their hardness and brittleness, this is especially true for larger parts. Furthermore to create complex and detailed parts with ceramics can also be challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Additive manufacturing can therefore be the method to advance the field of ceramic manufacturing. Using additive manufacturing it is possible to produce parts with highly complex geometries one cannot using traditional machining or molding techniques.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0955221918306782\">Ceramics can be 3D printed with a variety of 3D printing processes<\/a>, from Stereolithography to Selective Laser Sintering to laminated object manufacturing. A ceramic feedstock is available in different forms as required for each of these processes.<\/p>\n<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a410675 elementor-section-content-top
